Not wise to overpay for any of these guys. If you can get one of those backs for value, sure. Unfortunately, guys I do like, like Kats and Gittens, the team already has young studs in those positions. Argos need to prioritize the re-tooling of their lines as the rest of the roster doesn’t look too bad. No need to spend $ on flashy toys this off-season.
I disagree re Katsatonis. Slwyka looked very good this season, but IMO he's well below the level of Katsantonis, and the latter's NAT status makes him even more valuable. I agree we don't really need Gittens altho if Ungerer walks and we continue to play three NAT receivers, we will need a replacement for him.
Do you think Safety was much a problem though? One that requires big free agency money? Both Slwyka and Blackburn are only 24. Lots of time to grow into more coverage roles. Slwyka finally laying some lumber late season had me smiling. I’d try to resign Franklin and spend the rest of the money on the lines.

Slwyka has a year of learning experience and may evolve into a top safety; Katsantonis is best in the league IMO and likely would fetch top dollar. They could use the 1st rounder on the best safety prospect and have real TC competition with Slwyka (plus give Blackburn a real shot too) and may the best man win; with depth there too.

Not sure where the best place would be to spend big FA buck$ ? A very good RB or DT would be big needs in my books, but don't know the complete list of who is available there.
