Must ask Arthur Jones to take pay cut or get cut.
Must re-sign Jack Doyle to starter money.
Should re-sign Darius Butler to good depth money ($4m a year).
Exercise Exclusive Restricted Free Agent tag on Erik Swoope.
Let everyone else hit the open market and see what happens.
My list of free agent targets:
NT:
Brandon Williams, BAL
Dontari Poe, KC
Ziggy Hood, WAS
5-Tech DE:
Calais Campbell, ARI
Chris Baker, WAS
OLB:
Nick Perry, GB
Jabaal Sheard, NE
John Simon, HOU
ILB:
Dont'a Hightower, NE
Zach Brown, BUF
Gerald Hodges, SF

Trumaine Johnson, LAR
Logan Ryan, NE
Safety:
Tony Jefferson, ARI
Barry Church, DAL
Jonathan Cyprien, JAX
Add pretty much any three guys from three different position groups in the above list and that really shapes our draft board for April.
My hope would be to find one at each level (D-Line, LB, Secondary) to add veteran experience and then reinforce with the draft taking at least one at each level with our 1st - 3th round picks and then using the two picks 4th round picks to reinforce the defense and then add RB or O-Line.
Other Free Agents I am Interested In:
RB Jacquizz Rodgers, TB
RB Latavius Murray, OAK
OG Kevin Zeitler, CIN
OG T.J. Lang, GB
OG Larry Warford, DET
OT Ricky Wagner, BAL
OT Marshall Newhouse, NYG
WR Robert Woods, BUF
WR Kenny Stills, MIA
In Ballard we trust?
Cheers,
