Any last minute free agent pickups?

Just throwing this out for discussion. Apparently Peter Warrick is being released today. Given Taylor Jacobs injury history, if we could sign him for very little should we have any interest? Also, if we could sign Cory Simon for a 1 year deal for cheap, should we?

No and we couldn't.

I don't think Cory would sign a 1 year deal he is looking for a big pay day. He was going to receive a little over five mil this year with Phil.

The thing about it is, this late into the preseason I don't think anyone will pay him that much. He's gonna have to settle for something less than what he's looking for. And he will most likely receive just a 1 yr deal.

Someone will pay him and pay him good. This late in the season is irrelevant to a team who needs a pass rush.

I would think that with his talent he could pick up a 3 to 5 year deal and a D tackle can pick up a D pretty quick.

I don't think so. I think it's in Simon's best interest to sign a one-year deal and then try to get his big payday next summer. At this point, the number of teams that can shell out a big signing bonus is very small. He doesn't have a lot of negotiating partners when it comes to a big contract.

I think he'll push for a 1-year deal when he realizes that nobody can afford to give him a big bonus right now. I don't think we could afford him though, I think he'd get at least $3 million for one year of play. Plus I like our DTs. Griffin is obviously awesome at penetrating and Salavea complements him so well because he's so stout against the run. Boschetti is playing really well too.

I know we could not afford him but he let 5mil go so I would think that he would be looking for more money. Their are several teams that have pleny of cap room for him. I would think that his agent has a feel for the market and thats why they they did not sign the 5mil deal with Philly. I could be wrong of course.

So we should sign another injured WR to replace Jacobs? Doesn't sound like a good plan to me.

As for Simon, if he came super cheap I'd be all for it, but I highly doubt we could fit him under our cap.

[monkrules]

Hell yea we sould make an attempt, Think about it remeber when dan the man snyder wanted santana moss in the draft & didn't get him, we'll we have him now, Remember when he wanted peter warrick & we didn't draft him, we'll dan can add him to his wall of glory,

I just heard that Peerless Price is being released from the Falcons, do we have the cap room to sign him, or should we go after Peter Warrick or Corey Simon?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I think we're good on WRs right now.

[SmootSmack]

Man, Peerless has really been a bust ever since he's been without Eric Moulds on the other side hasn't he?

He's definately been a bust in Atlanta, but I think Vick really hurt him. Vick never looks to his wideouts to throw the ball; he pretty much just runs the ball or passes to his TEs or RBs. I saw a lot of Falcons games last year where wideouts were open but Vick didn't pass the ball to them.

LOL....well I guess if it's not broken, don't fix it!
