So you think you could be a GM??

So budding NFL GM's here, as promised, is a complete list of all of the players that will be free agents this year. Obviously some of them will resign with their current clubs before the bidding begins, but I want to hear who you would not be able to play without. If you were the GM of your team, and were struggling to get a deal done, which of the free agents would you put the franchie tag on?? Remember that you only have one franchise tag avaliable, and the wages for the player would be very high, so make sure hes worth it. Leave a comment telling us your thoughts, and lets gt some discusions going!!

  1. Vince Wilfork is integral to the Patriots 3-4 defense and will be franchised and then hopefully inked long term. Btw, you've included RFAs such as Gostkowski, Mankins and Woods who are subject to tenders, not franchise tags.

  2. You are spot on with the Vince Wilfork shout. A quality nose tackle is essential in the 3-4 system, and without doubt Vince is one of the best. The Pats will have to spend big to keep him long term though, as a player of his calibre, would command a huge salary in the open market, especially with the rise in popularity of the 3-4 defense. The reason that I included the RFA's into the list is that I have yet to go over the in's and out's of free agency, i.e RFA's and URFA's, and plan to do so closer to the time. I just wanted to get a good idea of who people thought that their team needed to retain. Thanks for your comment, good stuff.
