2013 Free Agents

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Speaking of him, I wonder if Brown will actually play a snap for us this year. Most of our pass protection breakdowns have come from RT even though Polumbus has been pretty good in run blocking.

Total guess but I could see him released after the bye once he's " healthy"

hopefully 2010 was the last year we make these kind of trades.

is his cap information on here accurate?

My friend did research on the top defenses on the league. We should only have 2-4 free agents on our defense total. And they should mostly be role players, possibly one star free agent. 7-9 players should be drafted on our team. Rogers-Cromatie, Gholdson and Bryd are players we should target but only one of these players. We should rebuild our defense through the draft. Carriker and two more free agents should all we need. We should blow up the secondary and rebuild it with one veteran and young players. Will struggle at first but will be a lot better in the long run, similar to the Seahawks and how they built their secondary.

Or would you rather have Byrd from Buffalo who is 'better' in coverage?

i like branch from oakland better than him, and i would like to draft a safety and take tony jefferson out of oklahoma, he plays very viciously and is always around the ball and good tackler. i really think just upgrading safety alone will make a big difference for us

Tyvon Branch is NOT going to be a Free Agent. He got resigned to a 5 year deal before the season started.


And Yes you need to draft, but with no first rounder, it really limits what we can do and lets be honest, BA and MS have been getting good Free Agents for us the past couple of years, I don't see us stopping that trend.

Tony Jefferson is a good safety, but I prefer you watch Matt Elam of Florida or Robert Lester of Alabama, both those guys are great and also always around the football. OU safeties are questionable. Who was the last OU who actually panned out. I don't think you can say Roy Williams was a great pro, because he was EXposed like not other after his 3rd year.

damn didnt know that about Branch, he would've been a great improvement. I like Elam as well but a little undersized havent sen Lester play. I just love the agression Jefferson plays with, he plays mad almost. I dont believe in history of schools producing players, I feel every guy is different. How many quarterbacks out of Baylor panned out?

I'm not answering that question, not because I don't know the answer, but because of how few games he's played. I want to keep this as FA only.

[Bubba305-ST21-]

haha i didnt want you to either, but as long as you get my point

So Talib goes to NE for a 4th rounder...the likely hood of them re-signing him depends obviously on his play and if he can not get into trouble.


More than likely, I think we can cross him off our FA list now..

[Monkeydad]

I'm glad we didn't give a 4th-rounder for Talib.

He's a ticking time bomb. Wasted talent. When on the field and behaving, he's a great player...but he can't stay out of trouble.

Imagine him and Hall on the field...the fights they'd get in...the suspensions they'd rack up.

He's not the answer. We need someone who can stay on the field and going forwward we need to be very careful with our draft picks. With no 1st-round pick next year, a 4th becomes more valuable to us. Talib is still serving a suspension and we've already taken our chance on a troubled player in Tanard Jackson and lost that roster spot and money. Lets not make that same mistake again, while giving up even more for him.

glad we passed on talib as well.

really hoping we'll be able to lure albert haynesworth here, he should give our d the boost it needs
