Top 2007 NFL Free Agents

The problem with Freeney as was pointed out in an article I read today was that the Colts do not require their DE's to play the run...they turn them loose on the QB every play. The skins defense system requires DE's to play the run first. We have no idea if Freeney can play the run for one since he doesn't do it...and if he is playing the run will we get the same pass rush numbers that he generates in Indy? He could be risky for the $ he is going to get.

Freeney's side of the line gets run over a good bit. He's quick as some db's but he isn't going to be any better a run stopper than AC. I don't think we can have 2 guys like that at their prices.

that's why j. allen would be a much better option. He's an all around team player who has a great motor and plays with a lot of emotion. I really think he fits the type of character Gibbs wants on this team.

Lance Briggs and/or Kawika Mitchell would b good additions along with Clements and Scobee

I don't know... as pdid5000 so cleverly put it "the come here and suck anyway."

Kyle Brady would solve the lack of blocking TE problem that I hope doesn't exist only in my mind.

i would agree if brady wasnt like, 300 years old

I thought Ramsey was a FA. Don't you consider him to be "Top". I guarantee you someone will say we should bring him back. I guarantee it.

[ridexile]

I dont want Freeny, If we are to get a FA I'd perfer to get Jarred Allen, then Justin Smith, then Dwight Freeny.

Wow, I can't believe more people aren't saying something about Brown and Lindell. We need a kicker guys! And bad! Obviously we all know how having a poor kicker can hurt. We need one capable of kicking 50+ yarders, and how about a kicker that has the capability of hitting 80%+ of their kicks?
Lindell has hit 79.3%+ of his kicks in 4 out of 6 years (not including this year since it's not over)
Brown has hit 78.8% of his career kicks. He has a prime time leg too. I watched him kick a couple years ago when I went to Seattle to watch the Skins game, and he was hitting warm ups from 60 yards.
Both of these guys can be clutch kickers. Do we even remember the last time we had that? Can anyone say Chip Lohmiller?

Throw a dart at a paper with all the available DB's (that means UFA, no RFA's) and I'll take them. That's how bad we need CB's. No more Kenny Wright PLEEEEEASE!

[SkinEmAll]

Spend whatever money it takes to bring in a kicker! Then we find a fair priced solid cb and lb. oh yeah and a dt and a ol.
