2024 Safety Free Agents...some I have noted or like...

[Half Empty]

Jeez, man.... good summary. I wish I could be so concise.

Given what follows this, many of us wish the same thing.

3. We have several players with expiring deals, but they are pedestrian level production. Runyon Jr, Campbell, Dillon and Savage are all players with sizable market value that we could replace from outside FA or the draft if necessary.

Agree. Although Campbell's deal is sadly not expiring, it has 3 more seasons on it. He and Bahk are the 2 players that I think we see Gute part ways with in the next couple of days, before their roster bonuses kick in on 3/15. Those 2 players if cut/traded, will not factor into any 2025 comp picks.

This is one big reason I'd like to see us solve the Safety Problem mostly in free agency. It seems clear at this point we can pretty comfortably get two soild safeties on the free agent market at a very affordable price point, and if we bring in a couple of reliable and experienced vets at that position, they will help stabilize the entire defense with their presence and their "quarterbacking" of the defensive backfield - and even the linebackers.

All one has to do is look at Savage (#21 pick in 2019) to get some clarity on the situation the Packers currently face at safety. While his rookie season wasn't bad, it by no means is what the Packers should be looking for in 2024 out of a starting safety. The Packers are in need of TWO quality starting safeties. If Gute waits until the draft to try and fill that need at #25 and a later pick, it might be a long season for the defense.

While there are some decent safeties in the draft, there are at least 10 Free Agent safeties that would totally improve the Packers defense. Maybe sign the best one they can to a long term deal and a second one to a 1 year prove it kind of deal and still draft a Safety high, to hopefully start in 2025.

The cut guys would have zero impact, which is one reason why I love the idea of ILB Baker Miami cut.

How do players cut because of void years factor in?

Whatever cap was pushed out into those void years, hits immediately. Now if they are 1 of the 2 players that a team can declare a "Post June 1" cut, some of that can be split between the 2 seasons (I think).

15m in dead money doesn't offend me, though I'm sure that number is going to rise yet.

Cross Kevin Byard off the available safety list. Signed with the Bears.

Well that leaves only about 20 or so guys to choose from!!! Is it hand wringing and teeth gnashing time yet? Lol

Sounds like a 2 year, $15M total. So the market is getting somewhat set on other Safeties.

Savage is signing a 3 year deal with Jacksonville. What are they thinking?????

I'm looking forward to seeing the number.

They must be thinking they can put him in a better position to succeed, than the Packers did. I wish Savage the best, and hope he has success moving forward.

Agree. I suggest the 60 meter dash. Dude can run straight forward for sure.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Just think the "real" Free Agency period doesn't start until 2 pm (central time) on Wed.

Feels like I've witnessed the entire free agency season in the last two hours.

They are thinking that they have a lot of money to throw around and away.

Anything is possible..queens are looking into signing Sam Darnold!!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Sounds like both the Eagles and Packers are trying to sign McKinney.

Reports link Packers, Xavier McKinney in free agency

Green Bay is interested in the hottest safety available on the free agent market, and everyone seems to know about it.

Saw that, like 5 minutes after my post. Great news for the Pack!

Darnold is a better QB than he is given credit for imho.

You just can't take your eye off the TV for 5 minutes today! My wife's trying to understand what could possibly be happening on the NFL Channel on a weekday afternoon in the middle of March...

I completely forgot today was the day for "legal tampering"......what an Oxymoron that term is!

Call it what it is....."Today is the day teams start announcing their free agent signings."
