Not shocked at all.

Time to move on from Carriker. He hasn't played in a game in years.

Re: Free Agency Begins in a Week, Whats the Plan?

nevermind on dansby imo.

i thought he would be contract friendly (5 mil per or less) since he signed a 1 year 2.25 mil K last year but he is hinting at wanting big money now.

Karlos Dansby wants his worth in free agency - ESPN

Guys I have a brilliant idea. Let's sign a top 12ish LT and move our current top 6ish LT to the less important RT position.

In the immortal words of Matty... "don't quit your day job".

Re: Free Agency Begins in a Week, Whats the Plan?

By my calculation, we need to add roughly 7 to 9 starters on this team to be competitive...

RT, G, ILB, DE/NT, FS, SS WR... I just don't see how we can fill all those holes in the draft and FA, so I don't see the reason to spend more than a few million a year on any player at any position... Like we seem to always be, we are rebuilding ladies and gents...

I'd rather have Byrd than Ward. We need more of a FS than a SS.

Per John Keim:

Ward is more an in-the-box safety, but he can play deep as well. Cleveland ran the same 3-4 style of defense Washington uses, so Ward would be a good fit if the Browns let him walk

Agreed... If we spend large on a FA this year, which I hope we don't, I would choose between Mack or Byrd... My second mid tier targets would be Joseph and Nicks...

I believe it was Bill Polian on the NFL XM channel said Byrd's game was based on his speed and as you get older you get slower (there are exceptions to the rule), but he said people should be aware of this meaning no long contracts.

Let me make a correction... Speed to read the QB and diagnose the play, which never goes away as opposed to what you are referring to, literal speed of the player...

Champ Bailey was released, would he finish his career where it started?

Scratch D'Qwell Jackson off your list. Signs 5 year, $22 million (I think) deal with Indy

That's a really good cap friendly deal for a guy whose solid, yet not flashy. Would have been nice to have him come on board, but Indy has a more consistent atmosphere of success the last decade or so, so I can't blame the guy.
