It's high time for NFL teams to get more creative.And the Chiefs already seem to be thinking like I am with two blockbuster trades (Alex Smith to Redskins and Marcus Peters to Rams) about to be formally completed when the league year begins.As for the other teams around the league, they have, by and large, cap space to burn with the proceeds from new television contracts and streaming rights pouring in. They have won the battle to contain spending on entry-level players in this CBA. They are staring at a list of unrestricted free agents that is le s than deep or appealing in most position groups and they need to shed their tendency for group thinking or allegiances to the way they usually operate.I feel like every year I tend to expect to see more trades and more forays into the restricted free agent market. The market forces and trends would seem to point to an increase in transactions of these types. And, indeed, a year ago there was more excitement and intrigue about some of the trades that were made (especially the NBA-inspired cap space dump/salary dump/trade) than there was about many of the signings, as, again, the amount of blue-chip players available Corey Crawford Jersey to sign via traditional means was limited.Perhaps, there will be more of the same this year, and, maybe even a more concerted effort by teams to explore other club's restricted free agents. Sure, it's always been seen as something of a taboo and only very rarely have clubs been willing to ardently try to sign another RFA to an offer sheet, but there is no reason it can't become more the norm (and spare me the argument about team's not wanting to negotiate contracts that other club will simply match; the "we don't want to do their work for them," cop out. It's a seven-month offseason, it doesn't take that long to formulate a cogent offer sheet concocted to exploit another club's salary or cap vulnerability. These are billion-dollar busine ses in contention for one trophy). With that in mind, here are some potential moves that I believe would make sense on several levels. Maybe one or two of them even actually come to fruition. But I know this much, good luck to the club that really believes it can fill a multitude of roster holes simply through unrestricted free agency this winter. It's time to be proactive and try some different avenues.Bucs sign to an offer sheetIrving is an impact player who can anchor a defensive line; the Bucs need all the help they can get with that and just parted ways with . Imagine having Nathan Noel Jersey this young stud paired around ? Talk about strength up the middle. There isn't much on the UFA market that can help every layer of the Bucs' defense, and they need help all over on that side of the ball. The are already in a pickle with having to franchise , they're in a cap crunch and the Bucs have money to burn. Irving can be moved around along the DL and had seven sacks in eight games last year. Create an offer sheet that pats Irving in Year 1 like a franchise tag would and watch Jerry Jones squirm. I don't care what round tender Dallas places on him, I'm seriously thinking about parting with it to make this happen. Dylan Strome Jersey trade a second round pick for Personally, I'd tag , but the Vikings keep hemming and hawing about their quarterback situation. So if you want to remain competitive and not have to throw a ton of money at the position with more quality young players in line for extension go rent Foles at under $8M for next season coming off his Super Bowl MVP. Minnesota's new coordinator, John DeFilippo, was Foles' quarterback coach in Philly and he already knows the system and scheme. The are lacking picks from the trades; no one is trading a one and this would be a very low two. They lost their fourth-round pick to the Eagles via the trade, but they should fare well in 2019 comp picks when Bradford and Keenum sign elsewhere under this scenario. trade a fourth round pick for The won't have Sanders and both on their roster a year from now, and should embrace the fact there is some rebuilding to be done. Sanders won't be in Denver on the other side of that, and if I am the Jets, give me this slot receiver making $8.25M in 2018 all day long, at a time when just got a franchise tag in exce s of $16M. Jets have oodles of cap space and with Robbie Anderson out of control off the field, adding a weapon like this would be a nice way to show you are serious about putting a sets around him as part of that recruiting pitch.Broncos trade a fifth round pick for Go ahead and swap out Sanders for Taylor. Perhaps you have to give the a higher pick based on playing time/production for Taylor, but he'd be a quality bridge quarterback while John Elway tries to find a franchise guy in the draft. Taylor does not turn the ball over, which would be a great starting place for the Broncos, and he fits the mold of the Elway/Gary Kubiak mobile pa ser on the bootlegs and waggles. In the end, the Bills may be forced to cut Taylor, because other teams aren't buying that Buffalo will pay him another $16M this season after benching him in a playoff run for a year ago. But I don't see the Broncos landing Cousins and who knows what will actually be once he has to play a real game. Taylor would be a logical fit.Jets sign to an offer sheetThere is never any pa s rushers to be found, much Alex DeBrincat Jersey le s a young pa s rusher that is just entering his prime. New York needs more on the outside and while Jordan's suspension history will give some pause, the are vulnerable right now from a cap standpoint and are trying to find a way to keep ex-Jet . Determining a price-point for this restricted free agent is difficult with him mi sing a year to suspension and another to injury, but the Seahawks aren't going to have a ton of extra space and this is a player Todd Bowles could do some interesting things with a suming he stays out of trouble. How high of a free-agent tender would the Seahawks place on a guy they got for almost nothing just a Erik Gustafsson Jersey few months ago? trade a third round pick for Houston gets star quarterback back from injury, but the offensive line could use an upgrade. And, after getting a second round pick from Seattle for disgruntled left tackle last year, they can afford to dole a pick here for a perennial Pro Bowl left tackle. The Eagles won a Super Bowl without Peters, as he was injured, and they need to create more cap and cash flexibility. Given the injury perhaps a third-rounder is too high, but imagine if Howie Roseman ended up getting back the second and third round picks that he is without right now because of the swaps to move up and get Wentz? That's some young, cheap labor right there. Houston's starting left guard and left tackle are UFAs; go ahead and secure Peters, who has a cheap 2019 team option for $8M. trade a third round pick for Bill Belichick is clearly in win-now mode and he lost a Super Bowl primarily because he couldn't find any way to stop Foles. Sitting backfired and he's going to leave for big money as a fre
