We've heard about Ray Willis so I don't doubt that the team will try and make a run at him should he still be available. Kalif Barnes on the other hand hasn't been mentioned outside of the message boards.

Of course you end up with random guys like Fred Davis and Justin Tryon that no one had the slightest clue were being looked at but those instances seem to be rare. In fact I can't remember the last time we signed a possible starter where no one had any idea we were trying to sign them.

I didn't hear one word about Hanyesworth before he was signed.

they talked to davis, but only briefly. he was pretty surprised about the whole thing too though.

It is just a hunch and I have no solid facts to base it on but I think that the Redskins are going to make another play fo Chad Johnson closer to the draft. The Bengals signed Coles today to replace Housh and I think they are fed up with Chad and will be willing to deal him in the near future.

Kinda strange..?

THREE YEARS, $22 MILLION FOR LEWIS, EVENTUALLY
Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2009, 6:49 p.m.

Here’s a weird one.

The Ravens and Ray Lewis agreed to terms on Wednesday. According to Adam Schefter, it’s a three-year, $22 million deal.

But, per Schefter, Lewis won’t be signing the deal for roughly two weeks.

No reason has been given for the delay.

Also, the amount of guaranteed money in the deal presently isn’t known.

Lewis had no other options. As we’ve heard it from multiple sources, Lewis’ salary demands caused the Jets to focus on Bart Scott. The Cowboys were never interested, and no other teams emerged.

We were interested in Brown but we blew our load on Albert.

CB Greer signs with NO. Does that mean Springs is out of the mix and will land in Philly or w/ the pats..?

SAINTS LAND JABARI
Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2009, 7:26 p.m.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms with former Bills cornerback Jabari Greer, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.

The contract, which has not yet been signed, covers four seasons.

Greer, who joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2004, visited the Lions, Browns, and Buccaneers. The Broncos, Dolphins, Jets, Eagles, and Rams also were interested.

He became a starter in 2007, the season after Nate Clements left Buffalo for San Francisco as a free agent.

Last I heard I thought K. Barnes was talking to the Raiders. His future is probably most definitely as a RT

Here's a decent source for FA news and talks:

The Redskins have made G Pete Kendall their next free agent target.
"He's my next phone call," Jim Zorn said. Kendall would return as a No. 3 guard and No. 2 center. He'd probably rather find a starting job elsewhere.

Hmmm...

It probably has been said, but Liegh Liegh Torrence is available. I think we should sign him for depth. He would be a good fifth corner.

Why have'nt we brought in Angelo Crowell and Kevin Burnett for a visit.
