2011 NFL Free Agents

I don't know if there are any better sites, but this is what I use for research. What free agents do you think we should pursue? Normally I'd assume that most of these guys would be locked up by seasons end, but with teams being reluctant to extend players due to no cba in place, I think that alot of guys will hit the market this year.

Don't just list off big name guys trying to build a pro-bowl roster. Remember, we have a salary cap to work with, and the price tag for the guys on the top of the free agent list is getting exponentially larger every year.

I think we will sign many free agents this year. We only have 2 picks in the first 4 rounds, our entire D-line blows, our interior O-line blows, our receiving core blows, and we have thin depth at linebacker. I don't think we will get big name guys...that hasn't worked out for shannahan when he has done that before, but I do think that we will get many non-starting material guys to patch some holes.

I'd say that we get a backup RB like what we were trying to do with johnson and parker (mike bell? kevin faulk?). I don't see portis or williams here next year, and I don't trust Torain to carry the load.

I don't see Holliday or Daniels back next year., and good for us the DL FA market is stacked. If we were to get a big name FA I'd want it to be Shaun Ellis. I also think it is important to get a backup NT. I don't trust Ma'ake to stay healthy. He is too big, old, and injured in the past.

I think we'll get a versitle LB that can do everything ok, but isn't good enough to start anywhere. Probably someone who is predominantly an IlB....but at the same time I don't see Carter back next year.

I see us signing some BS wide reciever in hopes that he pans out to be ok. Sort of like what we did with roydell williams and joey galloway. Maybe Brandon Stokley?
