OT is a stacked group

Russell Okung
Cordy Glenn
Donald Stephenson
Kelvin Beachum

Andre Smith
Mitchell Schwartz
Bobbie Massie

They arent FAs until they aren't re-signed or tagged. So no, that is not the FA market.

The whole thing I want to see Jay with a talent group of receiver sounds allot like when he actually did have one with Marshall and Alshon. I don't think he will ever have a group like that now in his career. White hasn't played and likely won't play that great until he finds a rhythm. Tired of excuses for anyone after 3-5 years. McClellan is another one of those guys. It's time to pencil him as a backup. cutler still has allot to offer but he can't complete a full game without throwing the game away because of some turnover.

It will diminish over the offseason, but the more names on the list now, the more guys who will hit the market.

It is a better situation than the OLB group, if Irvin is re-signed there is literally no one.


The OL is a unique position as well because they all get the same franchise tag, you don't see many OGs, RTs get the 12 million dollar tag.

What the **** are people talking about when they say Cutler's improvement is the most we've seen in years.

He's played 3 games and has 4 TDs, 3 INTs, and a lower completion percentage than the last 2 years.

He's the exact same QB he's been and will always be.

You cannot assess improvement based on statistic.

This is the best that he has looked on the field, regardless of his stats. We have never seen him hang in the pocket like this, step up and climb the pocket, deliver throws with a good base and footwork.

Yes he still throws picks, he always will, but that doesn't mean he is not improving.

Like him a lot. Hustles. Plays hard. Seems like a great guy. Likely great locker room presence. Average talent but he's got heart and passion. I enjoy watching him.

Nothing special, doesn't really have a pass rush move.

Would keep him and play him as the 3rd OLB behind a signed/drafted pass rusher.

Great energy.

Acho seems like a great guy to have around the locker room. I agree he brings a lot of energy to the field and that he's nothing special as an OLB but he's good rotational guy so I'd resign him on a 2-3 year deal at around 1.5- 2mil per.

I think Pace will do exactly the same thing he did this past offseason, sign some mid range to low cost YOUNG FA'S with upside, to continue his rebuild, while saving 2017 cap space. JMHO

If he lets a lot of guys walk how does he get to 90% of cap?
