Would love to land Grubbs or Nicks for LG, to be honest, if we land one of these guys, it will warrant a big contract, I thikn Nicks is more likely to leave his current team, because the Saints have already locked up their other OG Jahari Evans to big money, and probably can't afford to pay both OG's big dollars.
Landry doesn't seem likely, plus he is a Strong Saftey, not a Free Safetry (BIG Difference as far as body build, speed and mentality) Landry will want to start wherever he goes, Berry is our SS for the forseable Future, so I think that leaves little room to give a big contract (which it will take) to one of the top SS's in the league, I think Merriweather (Which is a Free Saftey), is a possibility because of the Pioli connection, and the fact that he was in a rotational/backup role in Chicago and might not have the issue with not being the "starter".
Not sure I like the idea of getting rid of Dorsey instead of Jackson, to be honest, I think both are still here next year, and both don't get enough credit for their improved play over the last 2 seasons. With that said, I think it would be more likely to see us land a NT in the draft rather than a Soliai.
Basically I'm just thinking that I do agree we will be active in Free agency this offseason, but almost every acquisition you have in this list would take a lot of cash to bring in. Just not sure we could afford it. I think you can count on us landing at least 1 impact Free agent on either side of the ball that is capable of coming in and starting, and then the other free agents will be role player/depth signings.
