Hey guys,

I thought it would be a good idea to put all of the Jay's potential off-season targets in the same place, listed with their pros and cons according to BBB's users. So in the comments you can list targets for me to add to the post and/or list pros and cons of the listed players that I can add under the player's name. I'll start with some obvious ones that have been talked about and hopefully we end up with a good list.
