Anyone know anything about Byrd from Buffalo? He's suppose to be the best safety out there. Not sure why Buffalo is letting him walk...

They can always franchise him if they can't work out a deal. I doubt they let him get away.

Cant be it, Belichick just doesnt make mistakes. Remember T Brady was a 6th round pick.

[quote=Lotus;994271]I'm happy with the Brace signing. We could use a blob as competition for the NT spot.[/quote]

I agree. Looks like he is "just a guy", but sometimes change of scenery helps, and some NE fans seemed to think he was finally getting it before he got hurt. Extra bodies in the middle of the line are a must for the grind of the preseason, and while I like Neild, if Brace steps up, that is only good for the team.

Yup. And if Brace doesn't step up and gets cut, no big deal.

Besides, Brace a big blob! Just what you want in a NT.

Apparently Charles Woodson is being released. What does everyone think about looking at him? Maybe he'd be willing to sign for less money because he's been sort of injury prone in the last few seasons.

I prefer youth, but won't hate the signing. He's been injured a LOT recently.

I heard ( radio ) , that NE drafted Brace as a NT , but now play more 4-3 and Brace is not a DE or DT ? If Brace can give us 15 - 20 snaps / game , it would be a nice signing .

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

Well, maybe/maybe not. The guy breaking the news about Young being cut and out of football is Robert Parker - the same guy who called RGIII a "cornball brother". He is not exactly a bastion of reliable reporting.

[quote]Parker is now writing for a website called The Shadow League, and he reported there that Young would be cut and may never play football again. Parker isn’t known for breaking news, but he does live and work in Detroit, so he may have a connection with Young, who has played for the Lions for two years.[/quote]

Rams are refusing to comment so I would just wait and see on this one.

But, yes, one way or another I burger flipping in Mr. Young's future ... and I bet he better than Megatron at it.

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

Titus has officially been cut. When asked by the media Jeff fisher said that Titus is a hell of a player that they didn't need. BS lol

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

Charles Woodson is getting up there in years, but his leadership is undeniable and he's spent recent time in the safety spot where we are pretty desperate. I suspect that the team passes if there's anyone else that is reasonably within its sights either as a draft or a free agent prospect. I admit that a CB tandem of Crawford and Wilson and a safety tandem of Woodson and Merriweather (assuming D. Hall is released for cap reasons) is intriguing. But I don't see this front office doing that -- we seem pretty focused on youth at the moment.

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

Woodson got cut today as well as Freeney from the Colts. Both players are getting up in years and how much the team would have to pay them since their age is an issue and factor.

But they still have a couple of years left in them the way that they are still playing well.

For a reasonable price, I would have no problem with Woodson. On the other hand, I just don't see how Freeney fits in. He seems to me to be a straight up 4-3 DE. He was a talented guy in his day, but just not someone who would be much of a help to us.

That sounds right to me. And my guess is that Woodson has more left in the tank too.

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

First off, I don't follow the rest of the league enough to have an idea of how much Woodson has left. Nevertheless, I looked at some 2012 Woodson highlights (for what it's worth) and in those highlights he was making plays all over the place, as usual. I'm thinking he may have 1-2 years left in the tank.

Remember when the Redskins were looking at using DeAngelo Hall closer to the LOS in a "Charles Woodson like role"? What about getting Charles Woodson himself for that role? He's certainly a perfect fit for some of the things the Skins want to do in the secondary. If he were to struggle some on the outside, I suspect that he could still dominate TE's and slot receivers.

I don't know but I have the feeling that Woodson could do a lot for us. He has been a great player and a big time playmaker in this league.

The key to getting him would probably be to convince him that we can win it all in a year or two.

Here's the thing. Woodson didnt sign because GB wanted to rework his contract and bring him back at a lower number. I think he believes he will get paid on the open market, and bet he will. I just hope it isnt us. We can find a starter in this years draft for safety and or CB. This is a deep defensive draft. Freeney does not fit at all. I would rather have Brace than freeney. Freeney is a straight up 43 DE.

If we ran a 43, sure. But we don't.

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

Wes Welker would be excellent. He gets open. He could move the chains and then defense in the draft. A winning combination.

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

I think Welker goes back to NE. I don't see how they let him walk.

They let vets walk all the time.

What they don't do is overpay for a guy who's on the wrong side of 30 or perhaps a bit past their prime.

I'll actually be more surprised if he doesn't go somewhere else.

Denver , Baltimore , Atlanta ( If Tony G. Retires ) , maybe even NYG ?

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

I want Chris Rainey. He is a speedback that would be good in certain packages for us. He is a low risk high reward, sign him to a one year deal.

As to Woodson, I agree with your assessment as to why he left. Not sure he is going to get paid. If he hangs around for a bit and is looking for a home at a reasonable short term price, I would be happy to have him here. Don't think it is going to happen or that it should even be a priority. From everything I am reading, the draft is deep at the safety position.

Where do you get low risk from? They guy has had off the field issues since college. He obviously can't do what he's supposed to. Last type of person we need on the team and in the locker room.

Let Dallas sign him. Dez needs someone else to hang out with on the weekends and have a family slap-fest.

that's hard to believe that they'd let that type of production and brady's favorite target leave. i could see if his numbers were tailing off...

I'm normally against this type of signing but I wouldn't mind Woodson coming here at all, just as long as we draft a guy that's waiting in the wings. He'd be a perfect short term solution at safety.

Re: 2013 Free Agents
 

So my question is, of the players listed below, who do you think will not be resigned?

I think we will not resign Cooley, Tanard Jackson, Bryan Kehl, Madieu Williams and Banks will not be resigned for sure.

Unrestricted: Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, tackle Jordan Black, tight end Chris Cooley, tight end Fred Davis, defensive end Kedric Golston, cornerback Cedric Griffin, safety Tanard Jackson, linebacker Bryan Kehl, guard Kory Lichtensteiger, tackle Tyler Polumbus, punter Sav Rocca, safety Madieu Williams and linebacker Chris Wilson.

Restricted: Nose tackle Chris Baker, return man Brandon Banks, linebacker Rob Jackson, tight end Logan Paulsen, long-snapper Nick Sundberg, fullback Darrel Young.

No I don't want to, but since we're tight against the cap I don't think it's out of the question.

Do you pay Lichtensteiger a couple of million per year or do you go the next man up route and plug in your 3rd rounder from last year?

Who else do we have at guard? Hurt can play guard or tackle, and we also drafted Gettis last year.

I'm glad he got that one catch at least. I was still surprised they didn't at least use him in the RZ.
