Well I’m a little bit in ramp-up mode for 2013 and while it’s hard to look past this new season, I’ll bite.
Of course any free agent they’d pursue next offseason would be a direct result of performance this year, but regardless I don’t see them pursuing any high price wide receivers. The hope is that a couple guys emerge this year and they can then grow in the system.
But here are some interesting guys due to hit free agency:
- Brandon Spikes
- Rob Ninkovich
- Aqib Talib
- Jermaine Cunningham
- Ryan Wendell
- Jake Ballard
Big spotlight on all these guys, so if you’re going to look at one focal position this season it’s gotta be defensive end, and that could be a spot they hit the free agency market for barring an in-season extension.
Personally I think Wendell is the most likely to get extended first, especially if he shows some pass protection improvement. He should be affordable.
