I am not.excited about paying a WR big money in FA, way too many other bigger holes.

Might not be realistic but I hope we can pull in two OL starters in FA. Norwell, Pugh, Solder, Ju'Wuan James, Cam Fleming, Matt Slauson. Pick 2.

I agree. I think we will add a WR in free agency but I'm thinking they will target an Amendola-like guy on a modest contract

This seems plausible.

Ballard on his approach to 2018 free agency...........

“I’ve said this all the time: we want to grow our own, and we want to build with homegrown Colts guys we draft. So we’ll be very selective,” Ballard told Andrew Walker of Colts.com. “You want to try to plug as many holes as you can going into the draft so you’re not driven for a need. But, saying that, we want to make sure we’re a good drafting team, and you’ve got to be very careful in free agency.”

So the pats could actually sign Jimmy Garoppolo? Give him a more cap friendly contract than just franchising him and actually getting a #2 draft choice in the offing.

In theory, yes, as Pasts fans are hoping. However, SF would have to NOT tag him for it to even be possible. They won't take that risk of losing him.

Garoppolo wants to play. If Brady is to be believed, he is playing until he is 100. Doubt Garoppolo wants to be a backup for another 5 years. 49ers are keeping him.

Pat fans are stupid. Jimmy G is not going back to being a backup again.

Pff sucks
