I thought we had some interest in him last year but couldn't pony up the cash. Now Detroit is cutting him one year into his contract. I think he is a very good safety (a "legitimate starting safety") but wouldn't tie too much money in the guy or get into a bidding war over him. I am also concerned that we may not get more than 8 games out of the guy b/c of his knees.

Exactly. I have a much bigger problem signing guys who are oft-injuried than guys over 30. Kinda changed my mind with H. Nicks because of that. No reason to pay a guy who plays half the game or suspended a couple games (B Merriweather).
