If Ed Reed leaves Texans without a contract, he could be headed to Niners. Woodson could be headed to Texans.

Didn't see anyone post anything on Ed Reed

Report: Colts sign safety LaRon Landry | SI Tracking Blog – Tracking MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA On Twitter

Interesting.

Just a little late on that news, bud.

The Colts are making some great moves, especially in the secondary, that's 3 solid DBs signed. Landry is a great player when healthy. I think they'll really regret the 4 years though. I'm glad someone overpaid so we were priced out of the risk. I loved LaRon when he was here but it was just an experiment that failed and it wouldn't be wise to try it again. I don't know if we'll ever see another season like he had last year, playing all 16 games. Interesting how he could never get on the field here, but when he was playing for a contract, suddenly he's healthy.

I'd love to see him on the field for us again but the risk that once paid he'll go back to the old LaRon is just too high. What we need now are safeties who can stay healthy. We already have a similar situation with Meriweather. We've seen what happens when we're playing 2nd and 3rd-string safeties as starters...please, not again.

We need to get some of these CBs in FA...there's a TON of quality CBs available. Then in the draft...hit the safety positions hard.

I missed the last page; past my bed time. Anywho good luck to the Colts.

14 million for Landry? Not sure what Indy was thinking on that one. He's a good player but he gets exposed in coverage. But good for him. Glad he's been able to stay healthy and get paid.

4 years / $20 mil. We couldn't compete with that.

The same link shows that SD also picked up our former draft pick Chad Rhino.

Bleh....unless Winfield comes in dirt cheap I dont see us getting a corner in FA.

The thing is they HAVENT been stupid with money in the past, they have built through the draft.

That team is ready so its time to go for it and take some chances. Good moves by Seattle.

Reminder to NFL teams...STOP drafting USC QBs! Barkley will be a bust too, it's school tradition.

Kolb is a china doll.

Vikings getting visits from Greg Jennings and Brian Urlacher. If they could steal those two away from division rivals, that would be impressive. Sure they're old and breaking down, but when on the field, still very good players.

look at the FA list at nfl.com, there's like 6000 CB/DBs out there.
winfield, cason, talib, smith, arrington, etc etc.
