Hind sight is always 20/20. I just wish the Skins hadn't given up the draft picks for the guy.

You can't prevent being injured in this game, stuff happens.

Hope he stays out of this division. I would expect him to have a decent year if he continues to play and is fully healthy.

i really dont buy that this cut was completley caused because taylor wouldn't report to 75% of the summer workouts. I smell a move coming.

Peppers?...I was thinking the same thing, and I would be for it as long as it didnt involve a #1 pick this year or next. We have to use this years #1 on one of the 4 RT's as there arent really any other options. Willis? You have to wonder about him somewhat as he is big, young, strong, versatile(G/T), healthy and hasnt received any offers yet. Not even by his own team...or ours for that matter!? That said I would still sign him but strickly as depth. Might even still have money left to sign Crowell/Burnett. I could deal with either but would love to have both as a run/pass combo and to alternate with the fragile McIntosh. So that would address most of major needs except for punter. Not fully sold on Smith though as he has punted indoors for a winning team and not so sure how his numbers would relate to outdoors and NFC east football. Also I wouldnt be too surprised if we made a run at eiter Bly or Bodden somhow. Im not so sure all these moves can be made under the cap but im sure it would be pretty close. Cut Thrash? Restructure someone again? But I do know if there is a way Danny will make it happen as his cap man is our franchise MVP. So what you guys think?

One thing I would make sure to do is go get a veteran receiver with some of this money. Age doesn't matter, and the shorter the deal the better.

Marvin Harrison?

[Hamoskinz]

Great move but we should have made it last week. Lets go and get Hunter Smith before he is gone. Make smart offers for Ray Willis and Angelo Crowell and no trades plz. We needs those picks.

Probably get Orakpo and AQ Shipley with 1st and 3rd picks.

[Dirtbag59]

How about this for a DE solution. Resign Demetric Evans, trade down and then proceed to draft Michael Johnson out of Georgia Tech. Nothing will bring out the best in two players like a Bulldog and a Yellow Jacket competing fro playing time at the same spot.

[GTripp0012]

It's important to remember that Jansen wasn't THE problem last year, but merely one of the many issues. He'd still be a minor liability next year, but the alternative right now is that we are talking about starting a rookie there, and it's hard to imagine that being a fantastic situation for us.

He wasn't THE problem but he definitely sucked balls.

Does anyone else feel cheated by how this went down? After they signed Hall and Phat Albert I had visions of 55 lining up all over the place and crushing QBs.

I would have felt better if they released him before signing the other guys. I would put the J Taylor aquisition on the Mount Rushmore of stupid moves by the FO. Somewhere near Arc de Suck, Brandon Lloyd (picks and a new contract), TJ Duckett, Portis (2nd rounder and Champ) and Brunell (Picks and huge deal for a player getting cut).

They better sign Crowell, an O-lineman, a punter, Campbell, Evans and or Daniels. We also need Monty and Golston back too.

D Evans plane was canceled today, to leave for SanFran, this could be a blessing in disquise...(he needs to stay)

Apparently someone from Wikipedia can see the future and has him going to the Steelers on Saturday (I'm guessing this will be corrected soon)

Maybe it meant to read March 2....and he is soon to be a Steeler...?

[Soup's Uncle]

^That's funny as hell! I def feel more moves coming. That was a lot of money going to an unproductive player.

[Bubba305-ST21-]

yeah im kind of excited..... i know we have something planned we aren't going to just wait until the draft considering all of our needs. Its only a matter of time until something goes down

[skinsfan242]

sign Hunter Smith, Punter Indy.
