some interesting names. I don't want us to build this way, but we need to hit a couple. Here are 5 I think we should target, maybe landing 2-3:
1. Martellus Bennett
2. Ron Leary
3. JPP - need to address this to be serious about winning the East
4. Stephon Gilmore
5. Lawrence Timmons
*Terrelle Pryor as a wildcard.

I also would consider Rex Ryan as DC if VJ leaves. RR's familiarity with the division, especially us could put us over the top defensively. He won't get another HC job, so he could be stable for us there. Plus a perspective of a head coach is helpful

Vance is good as gone too. So you have to get players and a DC

Well this defense has been atrocious. They need a miracle and if they dont spend $, they need a guy who understands defenses. Being in the Div helps

I think we're finally in a position to build mainly through the draft, but a fee free agents certainly couldn't hurt.

Rex coaches a 3-4, we are a base 4-3. There would be too much retooling to change AGAIN. I dont see it as a realistic fit.

Assuming Vance doesn't take a HC position there's no reason to replace him after his first year. Need to give the guy some time to develop the defense. Rome wasn't built in a day.cuchulainn, dolfan7171 and danmarino like this. -
Say no to Rex Ryan. Say no to communism.

We're actually in a very good cap situation this offseason. We will have about 65 million in cap room after cutting Albert, Williams, Misi, Dion Jordan maybe, earl mitchell maybe. And there are plenty of really good guards available if we really wanted to shore up the offensive line.

Let's look at that Rex Ryan knows the AFC East so well narrative!
Week 2: GAVE UP 37 points to the Jets.
Week 3: Shutout New England who didnt have ANY QB available in that game wow.
Week 6: Dolphins drop 28 on them.
Week 7: New England gashes them for 41.
Week 16: Miami hits them for 34.
Week 17: Injury depleted checked out Jets drop 30 on them.
So against the division that REX KNOWS SO WELL, the defense ALLOWED AN AVERAGE OF 28 points against.
And his sideshow clownshoes bull****?
Hard Pass.
Landry, every time you suggestion an addition to this org, it's a name. You are obsessed with NAMES and STAR POWER like Ross was for years.
We need to get pieces that fit what we are building and win football games not back pages.
No Distractions. No Bull****. Execution.
And Rex (as well as Manziel, your previous project), do none of that. -

- JPP will ask for stupid money and won't be worth it IMO.
- Timmons would be a nice pickup and a huge upgrade for us.
- Not a fan of Bennett, but mostly because of the money he will command. I don't believe we need a star TE if we continue to utilize our 3 WR sets with Landry, Stills and Parker. combine that with the perception that Gase wants to utilize the backs more in passing and there's only so many balls to go around.

More seriously, Rex would be an odd fit (IMHO) with Gase. He peaked years ago with the Jets and has not come close to reaching those heights again with the Bills. Denver seems intent on Vance, but I'll leave it to Gase to find a new DC. In any event, better players will make the defense better in 2017. -

I would stay away from Gilmore.

When you look at it from that perspective, the defense played AWESOME this season. They were simply outclassed.Tin Indian likes this. -
The defense is the biggest problem. Clearly what they have been doing isn't working. Time to "blow it up" and start over starting with a new DC and scheme. Then draft heavely towards defense and try to acquire defensive players in the FA.
On the offensive side, I would try to keep Stills. I like our WRs. Something needs to be done about BA at LT. He either needs to move to G or retire. Pick up a few more OL in the FA. I'm not sure about the status of Moore's contract but we need to keep him; solid backup. -
