How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

right, but the argument that we didnt use free agency is stupid. Free agency isnt even two weeks old yet and so far weve signed:

Albert Hayneworth - Pro-bowl starter. Best DT in the league.
DeAngelo Hall - Pro-bowl Starter. Playmaker, interception machine.
Derrick Dockery - Starter
Ethan Albright - ST Starter
Anthony Montgommery - Starting quality DT
Kedric Golston - Starting qualtity DT
Alfred Fincher - Solid backup LB and great special teamer.

4 of those players will start in 2009. The other 3 will play extensively. I dont see how anyone can argue we havent used free agency to meet our needs. We've been one of the most aggressive teams out there.
