Among their pending free agents are big names like wide receiver-debo Samuel, running back Austin Echler, linebacker Bobby Wagner, and edge rusher, Vaughn Miller. Officials expect moves at edge, cornerback, and skill positions with potential targets including cornerbacks like Alentay Taylor and receivers such.
