There are a couple tons of safeties that are getting cut around the league. Now is a bad time to be a safety looking for work and expecting a big payday. So hopefully, we can get some safety help for relatively cheap.If they sink a bunch of resources into safety again, after having just released Adams and Diggs, I'll die a little inside. Please no. Please?
I think the resources need to be directed at the line of scrimmage. And I think they're better off at safety than the departure of two vets suggests. I'd admit that they need toughness there.There are a couple tons of safeties that are getting cut around the league. Now is a bad time to be a safety looking for work and expecting a big payday.

We have freed up a lot of cap space for this year, and we will have a heck of a lot more next year. So, JS can sign some contracts, this year, that more money is on year 2 of the player's contract. This will give us the ability to sign more that just one top tier player this year. I have us signing players under 30 years old, since we are in a bit of a rebuild.
My shopping cart...
(OLB/DE) Bryce Huff 6'3" 255 lbs (25 years old): Huff has developed into one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. He has an elite first step, great bend, and relentless motor. He is coming off a 10 sack, 67 total pressure season as a backup player. The knock on him is his run defense, but I have read from Jets insiders, that he is better against the run than he is given credit for. We don't have anyone one on our roster that has Huff's quickness. He would be our top free agent signing outside of our own DT Leonard Williams. Projected $15 million per year.
(LG) John Simpson 6'4" 330 lbs (26 years old): Simpson is another player that has developed into a good starter. He would be an upgrade at LG at a projected $6 million a year. He would be great value at that price. I have seen Zitler as a fit, because of JS had past interest in him. But, Zitler is now 34 years old! Doesn't make sense to sign a old player when he has maybe two decent years left in him.
(DE/DT) Raekwon Davis 6'6" 311 lbs (26 years old): Davis is an athletic big man for his size. While he has been a bit of a disappointment (former 2nd round pick) as a DT in a 4-3 defense. I think his size and skill set is PERFECT as a 3-4 DE, with our coaching staff. Two big long athletic DEs in Davis and Big Cat will be a problem for opposing offensive lines. Projected $4 million per year for two years.
(ILB) Frankie Luvu 6'3" 235 lbs (27 years old): Luvu is a hard hitting, athletic, force multiplier. He can be a menace in our new defense. Projected $10 million per year.
(ILB) Isaiah Simmons 6'4" 238 lbs (25 years old): Simmons was top-10 1st round draft pick. He ran a 4.39 40-yard dash and had a 39 inch vertical jump. He was a bit of a bust with Arizona, but that is more because they tried playing him at too many different positions. He played better with the Giants, and their fans want to bring him back. I think his coverage skills will offset Luvu lack of coverage skills. Both are great athletic ILB that our coaches can play to their strengths. Projected $3 million for one year.
There is a better video of him, but it restricts coping. So anyways you can see his length and athleticism.
