Offseason Priorities Regardless of Superbowl.


I have just been solidifying my targets for what I think this team needs to accomplish in the off season. This is whether or not we win the Superbowl.

1.) Sign Jones and Mahomes. No one else is close to top 5 priority.

2.) Sign a legitimate #1 RB, Henry may be available, we were in the hunt at the trade deadline on Le'veon Bell. So he could be available. I am sure there will be others. RBs are generally not a crazy high price.

3.) Release Watkins, Sorenson (though I hate to), and Colquitt. They are eating cap we need for Jones, Mahomes, and a RB. Watkins frees 14m, Sorenson is a good piece but 5m for a 3rd safety is too much, and Colquitt is too expensive for the amount we punt. We could sign a UDFA and get 90% of the production easily. As an aside, though I would like to dump Hitchens the savings are not worth it. He can rotate in for the year then be dropped.

4.) Draft LB, CB, RB, TE, OL. In that order. The LB and CB group is deep this draft, the CB group even more than the LB.

5.) I would like to sign back a few of our FAs (especially Damien Wilson) but only at an affordable price. They are all pretty replaceable.

I think these moves would set us up nicely for future contention.
