Outside Free Agents for 2025

[Stl2La]

With the youth movement on defense, Bolton makes a lot of sense. He turns 25 later this year. Add him to the nucleus of young guys, and we could have something for a while.

What are the chances the Chiefs let him walk though?

Will I do?

Or this guy...

 

[Loyal]

Mike Evans
Courtland Sutton
Brock Bowers

That’s the three offensive weapons McVay wanted last year. He didn’t get any of them. I think he hoped that Colby Parkinson’s size would give him that red zone target and contested catch ability that Evans or Sutton would have provided. Bowers was just do it all stud.

So it’s a logical guess that in McVays mind that type of pass catcher is still what he desires for this offense. Aside from Tee Higgins I don’t see one in free agency.

Is Tee Higgins the kind of high character guy that would fit into McVay's team culture? I think we all dream of getting guys with incredible athletic ability with not much thought about the person that they are.

Hard to say. They don't have a lot of cap space. There is a risk they tag him, but they have some other good players hitting FA.

 

[Ram Ts]

Pitts is a horrible football player. Bad hands, little effort, bad routes, etc. He is bad.

They have $16M in space and would need to be creative to keep him on board. Figure $8M and I doubt Bolton signs for less than $12M.

I don’t know. Supposedly his teammates love him. As rare as the skillset can be, if McVay wants him bad enough I think he puts on the full court press, if he passes the character inquiries

No! Higgens is a renowned face-mask-puller!! Just ask Jalen Ramsey!!!

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Perhaps Pitts could be that guy?

If it’s a priority do they do a Hail Mary and risk rolling with a guy who hasn’t performed up to expectations like Pitts? I guess if they are resigned to the idea that they cannot find exactly what they are looking for….or they try to solve the problem in a different direction.

Prime Stafford made Kenny Golliday and Marvin Jones Jr look pretty good. Maybe he can do the same with a guy like Pitts?

I wonder about Greenlaw, the Rams moved on from Jones. Do you think they would take on a guy like Greenlaw (seriously asking, I have wanted a true grinder at ILB for years).

Pitts is interesting. He seems truly underused by Atlanta. If he clicks with Penix doubt he'll be available. He is a guy I think McVay and Stafford would love to have as a weapon.

They mentioned wanting to re-sign Jones at first. I'm not sure why it fell apart. I think they'd rather draft a guy then pay Greenlaw if I'm honest. But man I want some ferociousness at the second level.

Pitts is in the final year. They might need to get something for him now before it's too late. Pick 90 or 100 should do it.

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing them willing to pay an ILB mucho dinero.

 

[OntarioRam]

At this point, I would sign Calais Campbell just so we don't have to face him anymore. The dude absolutely destroys us. Doesn't matter what team he is on. If he is playing the Rams, he will have the game of his career, somehow one-upping his past mind-blowing performance vs. the Rams every time.

 

[Neil039]

Hasn't been a priority for years. Likely why fans like myself keep hoping they will draft or sign one.

They have drafted the position as high as the 3rd round (Jones). Before that Micah Kiser in the 5th. I'd be shocked if anything changed.

Oh I know. It's just a pipe dream.

Sucks too because I'd like to see a good linebacking group. Don't think we've been able to say that since Lauranitis and Ogletree.

 

[0311rams]

I get the Tee Higgins love. I just don't want to break the bank for one player and that's what it will take to sign him, imo.

I'd rather sign Slayton and a decent vet CB for the same price.

One reason is that I count on Whittington doing a little more next season.

I'm concerned about Whittington's health issues.

I don’t know anything about his character. I haven’t followed him that closely.

I know neither he nor Evan Ingram have fulfilled their projected potential and both were supposedly players McVay liked.

 

[blackbart]

I don’t expect them to be active in free agency outside of their own players.

They have to gee things done with Matthew Stafford first and foremost. He has more left and he seems to live working with McVay but, what will it take? $50 mil cap hit, can they fix that???

Alaric Jackson is a UFA, it seems they just cannot allow him out of the building.

Robinson is a good #3, what happens with Kupp, Higgins is a pipe drwam.
