PFW's Top 10 Free Agents 2006

I'll go with or not.

Forget Freeney and forget Rice. It's Gaines Adams, baby. He's the answer. He is ready to play today.

I'd like to pick up Steinbach or Dielman. Our O-Line definitely needs improvement. I say let Dockery go and replace Jansen. Leonard Davis is a free agent, but I doubt Arizona will let him go. Then, there's Pittsburgh's Max Starks, who I could see leaving. Saunders may want to bring in Jordan Black too from KC to replace Jansen.

Clements would be nice, but what about Asante Samuel? He's a free agent too. He's younger. He's improved every year, and the Pats always let guys go.

I think the D-Line is best suited to improve through the draft with Gaines Adams. Replacing Big Joe maybe a good idea too. Hollis Thomas would be great right by C Griff. Could you imagine trying to run through them?

I wonder if the Redskins will still go the big name acquisition route after this year. I would think so. Last year was the only recent year that I can remember where they didn't make a big splash in the Free Agent pool, and seeing as we don't have a whole lot of draft picks, we're going to have to do something.

4. OG Eric Steinbach (Bengals): versatile lineman figures to get paid top $$
5. DE Justin Smith (Bengals): solid all around player could get franchised
6. DE Charles Grant (Saints): Saints won't overpay for him, he could walk
7. DE Patrick Kerney (Falcons): high motor/character guy but is injury prone
8. OG Kris Dielman (Chargers): tenacious lineman looking for a big pay raise
9. CB Nate Clements (Bills): inconsistent but physical corner
10. LB Adalius Thomas (Ravens): versatile tweener, very athletic

Some more interesting cuts...
1. Adam Archuletta
2. Warwick Holdman
3. Christian Fauria
4. Mark Brunell
5. Andre Carter
6. Jon Jansen
7....

Capologists: What's the fallout if we ditch Jansen?

[Chief X_Phackter]

I wouldn't mind going after Justin Smith and Nate Clements and at the same time trimming some fat off the current roster. Then spend the draft going after a middle linebacker, some offensive line help, and some defensive line depth.

I wouldn't be so quick to write off Jansen.

Sure he's not having a great year but who is along the OL??

I think it would be really premature to cut him.

We have little choice--we have to go FA, given that we've committed to that route. Live by FA, die by FA.

I just hope that get young-ish guys, and DON'T OVERPAY! Then trade down our #1 for more picks.
