[quote=Mattyk72;530110]He's alright, he's got good speed but from what I've read overall he's very inconsistent. But at least he's young. Who would he bump from the WR corps? Thrash?[/quote]

He's on their radar, on the far outskirts of their radar. Thrash has got to go sooner than later I think.

[quote=SmootSmack;530254]Anyone have any thoughts on Geoff Hangartner (Panthers backup OL)?[/quote]

I know he was 1st team all-big 12 (Texas A&M) in 2004. Isn't he a center? Could be a nice depth move if he can play some guard, too. He'd definitely be inexpensive.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Buffalo’s purge continues. The bills released tight end Robert Royal today. Earlier, they let go of guard Derrick Dockery. The Bills are clearing cap space and making moves, and they might not be done. Royal was also a Skin at one time

I agree. Jerry knows he desperately needs to get some leadership in that locker room.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

[quote=SmootSmack;530231]Was he in Philly? Maybe that's what was meant when I heard "just outside of Baltimore"

I don't know why he's out there, if he is[/quote]

Well, I guess this solves that mystery:

Convenient itinerary though, given how close Baltimore is to Philthy.

[quote=SmootSmack;530254]Anyone have any thoughts on Geoff Hangartner (Panthers backup OL)?[/quote]Starting caliber Center who should be more cost-effective than Jason Brown.

The Center market is absolutely loaded though not only in free agency, but in the draft.

If Rabach is on the team next year we have only the front office to blame.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

I'm starting to think a perfect weekend will look like:
CB-Hall
DT-Chris Canty
LG-Dockery
RT-Stacey Andrews
P-Hunter Smith
K-? Is there anyone out there better than Suisham? He's garbage but I don't think much better is available.
I'd much rather have that FA class than a bunch of $ thrown at Haynesworth. We're not one player away. Even with Haynesworth we're closer to 4-12 than 12-4 so I'd rather build some talent rather than chase a big fish.

That weekend coupled with Killzone 2 would make this weekend one of the best ever. However I'm kind of disapointed in the possibility of Canty being used as a LDE instead of a DT.

Mike Nugent is available.

You say build talent, yet you talk about getting a whole bunch of free agents (Canty, Dock, Andrews and Smith). Besides, building talents means you win later (most of the time, not all).

He also sucked to high heaven.

Please no one recommend that we pick up Royal because he was one of our more terrible players of the past. He could not catch and when he did, he could not hold on to the ball.

The guy is a walking turnover.

We held on to him because of potential. It never developed. Please...don't even think about it.

Everyone calm down. No one suggested we go after Royal. 44 just mentioned he used to be a Redskin.

Oh I agree Skinny. The only reason I even posted it is because of his past ties with the Skins. I don't think anyone wants this guy

Well, I was kidding (sort of). League-wide I'm sure there will be some deals announced in the middle of the night tonight, and plenty more tomorrow.

EDIT: for the record I do not think we are signing all of those players.

Christian Shephard, no doubt! LOL. Nice Lost reference. Very esoteric. Maybe he can get Danny to spin the wheel and move the franchise back in time to reverse some of our previous FA blunders.

For what it's worth, just got word from a "source close to the Ravens" (and I think it's pretty reliable, she's been 4 for 4 for me in the past) and she says Jason Brown is coming here.

As for my "source close to the Titans" (she's new, I only recently met her) is being non-committal about Haynesworth

I can't say if Jason Brown lands on the Skins there is any excitement on my behalf. Not much there IMO.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Do we really need Jason Brown? I mean he's probably an upgrade over Rabach but we shouldn't get into a bidding war for him. We have bigger needs. If this is true it shows our FO is just throwing money away for fun.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

John Clayton expects Haynesworth to be signed by somebody 1-2 hours after midnight.
