FA Alternative to Earl Thomas?

Assuming we would be giving up on Colbert, Clinton-Dix would be a nice piece. Sportrac estimates his market value at 5 years, $50M. That is $10 APY. He has had a bit of an up-and-down career. He played some of his best ball after moving to Washington last season. Would be expensive. FA market likely to drive his price above Sportrac estimate.

Worth kicking the tires but I'm not sure he is worth what it would take to bring him here.
For me it's Glover Quin. I don't want to overpay for Dix or Mathieu.
Maybe the FA market will be super quiet just like last year and it won't be so expensive to bring one of these guys in

True, besides Thomas and possibly Collins, everybody else may hear a long dial tone. Dallas and KC will swarm on these 2 quickly and commandingly. After that we can get some of the others at reduced prices.

...except he is no longer the player he once was. Lost speed and quickness. Best now as an in-box defender or cover TE. Still has good instincts but legs no longer get him there.


wow, what happened to this guy ?? So basically he's be a better SS candidate, of which we are LOADED. Gotcha..

One of the reasons why I was hoping to draft Hooker was that finding a FS with range is really tough. Honestly if we don't sign Thomas I think our best value would be just to give Colbert another shot. None of these are true center fielders.

Possibly give Sendejo a low level contract as competition.


No to Sendejo.... I'd rather they resign Ward than him.

If Thomas and Amos go someplace else, I don't see any of the others being worth the FA price they are likely to draw. Would rather stick with Colbert.

That's what I figured. There's this fan group on facebook that im in and this one guy consistently talks about how we should give Landon top 5 safety money and it boggles my mind.

Yep. Three picks and 5 pass break-ups in 4 games before injury. Don't think Dallas can afford him now.
