Rogers is the key to the defense, when you can have man to man on the cb's the pass rush and the safeties play better.

It's gonna come down to years with Rogers over money. He's looking for a 4/5 year deal but at 31 I doubt they want to sign him for that long.

Neither will anyone else, which is why he will most likely stay.

True I think they can get Rogers back. I'm not sure what the going rate for CB's but 3yrs 22 million sounds about right. Nice signing bonus with a 4th year option.

We need a gif or something for this, haha!

I'd expect us to get something worked out with Rogers. He seems to really want to stay, and I believe we've got the room to do that. I've read that Goldson could be franchised, and at a much lower cost than Rogers.

I doubt that we make a big splash this year in FA, going instead with the same under-the-radar approach from last year.

The only "splashy" type FA I'd like would be a wideout. Our front office did a great job of bringing in players that fit the system well and could be gotten for reasonable money, but we wiffed on our two WR additions, Edwards and Johnson. I don't know if that means we can't scout that position accurately or what, but it might be time to throw a little money at that particular problem.

I have a feeling we will keep Goldson, Rogers, Costanzo, Snyder and Morgan

But lose Ahmad Brooks
