You beat me to it. The first thing I thought was wow, now I know why they were giving him interviews and told him that he would fit in our defense. The guy can play DE and OLB and with Marcus gone I can see them getting this guy now. I just wish we'd address the O-line more.

How would you guys feel about Orlando Pace?

I always wanted another aging Offensive lineman

I believe JT would have had a Pro Bowl season in 09. But, This move can potentially allow us to make some nice moves. Does anyone know if Hunter Smith still Avail.?

Sign Ray Willis, Demetric Evans, then draft Rey Maualuga. After that get a third round Center or Guard.

Now That Idea is MONEY!!!!!!!!

I wonder though if the team tries to go after Mark Tauscher? He's definately the best from a talent perspective but Willis is best from a long term perspective.

I don't really know about this. 8.5 million is a lot of money to go get a player who can bring what Jason Taylor brings, but is that kind of player still around?

Not really. It seems like all the Free Agents along the D-Line were DT's this year. Paul Spicer is available though. If he's cheap enough then he's a good stop gap at LDE. Then again he is 34 years old.

Bertrand Berry as well.

Ideally, though, if he's sitting there a week from now, I'd go after Taylor again. My first solution to his contract situation was to cut him and re-sign him, and I wouldn't be shocked if they are doing exactly that.

Id assume that we have something in the works. There is no way we cut him for nothing. We still have 4 draft picks that could be thrown away for aging players.

Right, that's exactly what I'm thinking.

Smootsmack mentioned something about Orlando Pace. I hope he's not coming here. We with out a doubt we have other needs on are team then a 35 year old lineman with a history of injuries.

I think if Willis falls through and were sitting at 13, but the Big 4 OTs are all gone, I'd rather have Jansen for one more year than anyone else on the market.
