This NFL Offseason should be a hot one. There are a lot of free agents both offensively and defensively, but today we will look at the top 5 NFL free agents. This was a tough list to make. To narrow it down to 5 players is tough, there are so many to choose from and each have different playing abilities and attributes they add to a team. Demarcus Lawrence would be at the top of my list, but it sounds like the Cowboys are going to Franchise tag him if they can't come to a contract agreement before the deadline on March 6th. With Lawrence being out of the picture, this list was tougher to construct but i'll give it a shot starting with number 5.
Number 5: Dontari Poe
There is a lot I could say about this guy. The first thing is WOW. First off, he is 6 foot 3, 346 pounds. He is massive. I wouldn't want to go to Pizza Ranch with that guy, cripes. The guy is a gunslinger. He has 1 career passing touchdown. Poe even has 2 rushing touchdowns. I wouldn't wanna line up against this guy and try to take him down. His William Perry size, speed and agility is what I look for in a d-lineman. What an athlete. For a guy that weights 350 he can sure move and is a force on the Defensive line. The Memphis boy corralled 2.5 sacks and 39 tackles this past season for the choking Atlanta Falcons. Catch the ball Julio. There are a multitude of teams that could use his talents like the Falcons, Packers and Chiefs. We will see in the coming weeks where he ends up.
Number 4: Malcom Butler
Why Pete Carroll? Why didn't you run the ball? Malcom Butler is a good CB don't get me wrong but I think he is hyped up from his interception in the Super Bowl. Butler had 60 tackles and 2 INT this season but didn't play in the Super Bowl. What happened? Butler is a play maker and obviously is proven to be clutch in big game situations. It seemed like everyone liked Butler even former defensive coordinator Matt Petricia. Butler will be pursued by the New York Jets and will most likely seek a lot of money but with how his season ended previously I don't quite certainly know if he deserves it all.
Number 3: Trumaine Johnson
The 28 year old CB from the LA Rams is going to be a free agent this offseason. Johnson will search the market, but the Rams still want to re-sign him for the right price. Johnson had 65 tackles and 2 INT's this season. If Johnson were to re-sign with the Rams, their secondary would be unreal with the recent addition of Marcus Peters but like I said, for the right price. The Rams are coming off of a disappointing loss last season versus the Falcons and they're going to need to gear up for the season up ahead.
Number 2: Lamarcus Joyner
If I had any say for any football team, this guy would be at the top of my list. 2017 was a career year for him with 3 INT's and 49 combined tackles. While his stats might not show his abilities, he is a hell of a player. The Rams have a lot of decisions to make with Sammy Watkins a free agent and having to fit Joyner and Trumaine Johnson under the salary cap. Joyner is a phenomenal all around DB, he can play cornerback or even safety if needed. Although he is 5 foot 8, he packs a punch and adds to a defenses value exponentially. I don't know if Sean Mcvay can pull this one off but either way he comes home to a hot wife.
Number 1: Sheldon Richardson
Cripes. I would not wanna go against this guy. Richardson is a freak of nature. He is a phenomenal athlete. Although he only has 2.5 sacks in his last 30 games, Richardson makes up for it in other aspects of his game. The big fella even had an interception last year. Somebody put this guy on the hands team. Sure, he doesn't have the best stats in the world. But would you want to try and block this guy? Hell no. Ill watch you do it. He is an absolute force up front and makes linemen look silly. The only downside about this guy is he is an asshole in the locker room. But hey, he can do what he wants.
No matter how this offseason progresses, I anticipate it to be a good one. The combine is this weekend. The NFL is back. Thank god.
Cheers,
Burn
