Earlier this week at the NFL Media offices ...Joe Bob Editor: "We need your free agency primer by Friday ... AFC and NFC."Me: "I thought 'primer' was paint."JBE: "We want fans to know what areas their team can fill in free agency next week."Me: "Doing team needs for 32 teams that fast is more work than painting my bathroom."JBE: "You're doing it."Me: "I'm asking the Competition Committee to challenge this."Well, clearly I'm performing this exercise ... but I still have questions for Competition Committee frontman Jeff Fisher. Like Leury Garcia Jersey ? Or perhaps more germane to this article's subject matter, what are your planning to do this offseason? Yes, the have many areas to addre s this offseason, but they're certainly not alone. This is the NFL -- every team has needs.So, with free agency on deck, it is my mi sion (order?) to appease Joe Bob Editor by identifying major needs for all 32 NFL franchises -- three areas each team should consider addre sing when the market officially opens at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.If you feel my analysis is off anywhere, let me know. Love a (good) debate: is the place.: wide receiver, outside linebacker, running backDespite the up-and-down regular season, the proved they are not that far off in the postseason. To remain in AFC title contention, they must reinfuse the wide receiver position with some talent for new offensive coordinator Marc Trestman. is getting long in the tooth and is a free agent, thus OLB is another area to addre s. is set to hit the market, so they either need to bring him back or look elsewhere for RB help.: offensive guard, defensive end, quarterback aside, Buffalo still needs a long-term answer at quarterback. The position is listed third here, though, because the are far more likely to add another quarterback in the draft than in free agency. With heading for free agency, DE is either a need or merely a re-signing priority. And how about a stud interior O-lineman for to run behind?UPDATE:Hughes has agreed to a to remain with the .: defensive end, linebacker, defensive backThe heat always seems to be on Cincinnati's quarterback, but how about applying some heat to the opposing signal-caller. Yes, I'm talking about acquiring some kind of pa s rusher. Last month, . Cincy will take a long look at upgrading OLB around . In the secondary, is older, and so is . Ditto . is old, and a free agent. You get the point.: wide receiver, defensive line, tight endHad a good back-and-forth with my editor regarding the quarterback position in Cleveland. It's not listed above because I think the will take a Day 2/3 flyer on a QB in the draft, using free agency to addre s other Chicago White Sox Jersey needs. Well, whether it's , or 51-year-old Bernie Kosar, the quarterback will need some players to target. Cleveland should push for or , and perhaps a mid-tier free agent like a . The certainly could use a tight end, as well, with hitting free agency.UPDATE:Green Bay didn't risk having Cobb hit the open market, reaching a with the wideout on March 7.: defensive tackle, center, tight end has played some solid football for the over the last few seasons, and now he is a free agent. If it is indeed time to move on from "Pot Roast," then who is the filler? The draft could be used to addre s that need -- as well as the one at center. I like Denver to look at free-agent tight ends, with likely gone.: nose tackle, wide receiver, quarterbackQuarterback is a need for this team, but there might not be anyone the club wants to sign on the free-agent market ... well, other than . While he works to full recovery from a torn pectoral, Houston should be drafting someone. Interior defensive line is an area that could be filled during free agency, as is offensive tackle. With , wide receiver merits attention.UPDATE: In addition to keeping Mallett, the have agreed to a three-year deal.: linebacker, running back, safetyThe must get a stronger pa s rush. Otherwise, Indy can forget about challenging the in the AFC. is coming back from an injured Achilles, but is also in his mid-30s. would be a great signing. ? Cheaper. And isn't the best news for the receiving corps. (I always wish the great ones could pull a George Brett, and play with the same organization from stem to stern.)UPDATE: Ingram agreed to a four-year deal to remain with the .: defensive line, offensive line, outside linebackerIn the 96-year history of the NFL, one equation has remained constant: trench dominance = Adam Engel Jersey wins. (Yes, even in this era, when people only pay attention to the skill positions.) The could use a mismatch nightmare in their pa s rush, and interior defensive linemen who can contribute right away. Offensive tackle/guard should be considered in both free agency and the draft.UPDATE: The former offensive tackle to a five-year contract.: wide receiver, offensive line, safetyIf you watched football last year, then you know wide receiver is a must. This was clearly the case even before news broke about . I love , too, but 300 targets would seem a bit exce sive. Unfortunately, with the future of up in the air, getting at least a stopgap safety in free agency makes sense. Everyone in the league hopes Berry can come back. Everyone.: offensive guard, linebacker, wide receiverFor a team that was relatively competitive in 2014, Miami has a ton of needs. You can throw cornerback in there, as well. And running back, too. Right now, finding an adequate receiver to team with is a must. and were cut. 's future is in doubt. Could the team addre s the position in the first round of a loaded receiver draft? Linebacker and defensive tackle are needs on the defense.: defensive tackle, offensive guard, defensive backThe champs won't become chumps any time soon. Yet if you saw the way and ran on them in the postseason -- imagine if the had called just one more running play ... -- you know DT is an area worth hitting in some capacity this offseason, especially with . Then there is the / situation. Interesting offseason in New England.UPDATE: McCourty with the on a five-year, $47.5 million contract on March 8.: quarterback, cornerback, defensive tackleWith , this receiving corps is starting to look pretty imposing. Jim Abbott Jersey But who's going to deliver the football? No one truly knows what to think of , who ended the season but has been mostly down in his brief, up-and-down career. New York might be able to get or at sixth overall, but that also might be wishful thinking. Acquiring a bridge like or making a play for is po sible. CB is a major need.: wide receiver, defensive end, cornerbackCan I tell you how nice it is to not have to list quarterback here? Hurray for ! Oakland has a truckload of cap money to spend, so outbidding teams on or is more than feasible. Even if develops, another corner is needed. The offensive and defensive lines could sure use some TLC.: outside linebacker, defensive back, nose tackleThe fans who tweet me () really want to retire. Totally understood, but him retiring before his game declines too much doesn't take away the need for a safety -- or a corner, for that matter. With on the free market, Pittsburgh probably will look to replace him in the draft. Funds are tight.: offensive line, outside linebacker, defensive backI have come around on offensive line being the ' primary need, but the defensive front seven still needs serious attention. is a free agent and retired, so look for GM Tom Telesco to refortify the OLB position. Meanwhile, three starters in the secondary are free agents (, and ). Ouch. Oh, and by the way, is probably gone. Don't cry.UPDATE: Flowers and the agreed toon March 8.: quarterback, offensive line, pa s rushTalk about a team that could use a serious influx of talent. The should take a long look at DE and RB Michael Kopech Jersey in free agency. And they might as well place a call to 's agent, as potential insurance. Then try like heck to trade out of the second overall pick to acquire as many draft choices as po sible. That's my Rx. You're welcome.Follow Elliot Harrison on Twitter .
