Albert Wilson and Cairo Santos are two restricted free agents I would pursue
This list put together by our friends at NFL Trade Rumors, is something else. It shows all the players that were signed to a restricted free agent deal. It also shows the compensation you would have to throw down to sign the player.
There are some good players who could be poached from their teams, just like last year when the Bills lost Chris Hogan to the Patriots.
Two of those players I would go hard after are wide out Albert Wilson and kicker Cairo Santos. Why not. If they sign with you, you do not need to give any compensation.
