i wouldnt be opposed to his signing but...
if he plays all downs, he will wear down because he is very light for a DE...we would still need to play one of our DEs about half the time. he would play nearly the same role as our chris clemons does, but get ont he field a little more id imagine

I wouldn't get too worked up over Ray Lewis. He's definitely down several notches from a couple of seasons ago. He could still make plays, but he's nothing like the beast he used to be.

Ray Lewis would be the next Warren Sapp -- used up, spent, and all they've got left are their mouths.

what i was getting at was if we got him, for not too big a salary, he would bring a nastiness to this defense, we wouldnt let down because he wouldnt let us with his fire. every defense needs some nastiness to them, sometimes we dont have that

Oh he's charismatic all right. But I wouldn't bring him in just for that. This team needs to get down to plain old fundamentals to start winning again. Fire only gets you so far. Yes, you want "nasty" defensive players. I think Sean Taylor and Arrington fill that role very well. Nonetheless, it hasn't translated to wins.

Brunell, Portis, Cooley, Moss, Samuels, Rabach, Thomas, Jansen, we need a LG, 2nd WR, TE, lets address the LG we can go with Diehl. or Hutchinson who both have 1yr left on there contract, For Wr, plenty of options but, here are my Choices, T.O., that right can't deny his talent and at this point he has only one chance left, next Reggie Wayne, Colts might not be able to sign him, next I. Bruce, solid and has experience...Jimmy Smith would be perfect or Charles Rogers, who the Lions will cut, or Brandon Lloyd, next TE Randy McMichael or Todd Heap, not sure if he's got a extention yet or Boo Williams from New Orleans, who wants to play there anyway, now let's do the Defense:

Griffen, Washington, Arrington, Salave'a, Springs, Rogers, Taylor, for a LE, Raheem Brock, Aaron Smith, Gary Walker, for RE John Abraham, Aaron Schobel, Greg Ellis, Mike Rucker from Carolina, or Best of all Robert Mathis, from Ind. next a MLB Ray Lewis, because the Ravens will let him walk, Andra Davis, Earl Holmes, Gary Brackett. at SS and this is the most important one....Lawyer Milloy, Adam Archuleta, Corey Chavous, Tank Williams, Donovin Darius, not sure if he got that contract extention, but I know he has been getting the Franchise Tag. and I'm sure we get all of these guys but that what will be available, I'll say the 4 most important people on here that would put us over the top.....Heap from the Ravens....Hutchinson from Sea...John Abraham and Robert Mathis, all of these guys to my knowledge is in a contract year, we could do without Heap, take Jimmy Smith, move Cooley over to TE full time, and use Sellers as a FB,

Our New Additions or:
Jimmy Smith-WR
Rober Mathis-RE
John Abraham-LE
Steve Hutchinson-LG,

keep the Core guys along with what we got.....Playoffs, no doubt

I love Jimmy Smith. I think he's one of the most underrated receivers of all time. However, I think his best years are behind him and I wouldn't go after him

The See Ya's and I wouldn't want to be Ya's:

1.Patrick Ramsey
2.Walt Harris
3.Pearson Prioleau
4.David Patten
5.Ade Jimoh
6.Omar Stoutmire
7.Warrick Holdman
8.Randy Thomas
9.Cory Raymer
10.Ladell Betts
11.Robert Royal
12.Brian Kozlowski
13.Taylor Jacobs
14.Matt Bowen
and last but not certainly least.
15.Lavar Arrington- The biggest dissappointment on this team and when given the opportunity to take over a game he drops the ball. I really think that Williams and Blache have shown a dislike for Arrington's inconsistent play and they have shown that they can run a defense without him.


Our new additions are:

1.Brandon Lloyd
2.John Abraham
3.Tres Moses-WR from Rutgers University a serious playmaker
4.Corey Chavous
and the last surprise pick-up
5.Curtis Martin- He just can't wear 28#.

why curtis martin? expensive backup who is going way downhill.
chavous would be a good addition.
abraham would be great
lloyd would be alright, i think hes a little overrated cuz he makes some amazing catches, but isnt that consistent...he will make the highlight reel from time to time but he isnt worth a big contract, as some team might want to give him

I agree with most of the picks. But Randy Thomas? He's our best offensive linemen and one of our best players! Arrington gone? How to we afford to take the gigantic cap hit? If you can explain that one, you should be on TV like David Blaine or David Copperfield. Finally, Curtis Martin? Really? Isn't he as old as dirt? Martin is a great back, but he's got at most one or two really good seasons left.

I'll tell you why Curtis Martin. It's part of our new trend. The annual "Pick a Jet" campaign. We need to bring some former Jet to the Skins.

On another note. Let me throw this name out there. Financially I don't know if it works but there is a big, young back out there who will probably be a free agent this offseason....Jamal Lewis.

What do you guys think of going after him and doing a Portis-Jamal thing sort of like what the Panthers have with Deshaun and Stephen Davis? My guess is it probably wouldn't work from a salary cap standpoint

would be interesting, but yes it wouldnt work with the cap and i dont think lewis is a "character guy" that gibbs would want

Interesting, but I can't imagine under any circumstances having both Portis and Lewis. That would consume too much of our cap, both would be griping about carries, and Lewis fails the Gibbs' character test.

[Big C]

bubble: daniels (gone if we can find a replacement, if it...then he stays), frost, hall, harris, jimoh, holdman, robert johnson, wynn (cap reasons and productivity)

gone: bowen, koz (old), ramsey, royal (ol stone hands), stoutmire, noble

everyone else keep if possible

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I understand the enthusiasm about getting new and more talented players. We've lost year after year after year. Danny & Co. have tried year after year after year to dig their way out of their losing ways by mining free agency for high-caliber quick-fixes. I learned a long time ago that when you are in a hole the first thing you need to do is stop digging. That is exactly what we need to do - take stock and climb out with basically what we've got (save 1 or 2 pickups).

Good Point, no doubt thats a good point, but since, we want have many draft picks, since denver will be gettin our future, then free agency, is the only way to stop the bleeding....I really think, Hutchinson and Smith, with Abraham, would gives us that feared D again.....and If the Ravens Drop Ray Lewis, well, I dont see him wanting to move far away from MD......I feel this could gives us what we need, even though I do like Brandon LLoyd and Mathis from Ind. he's a speed demon
