Any UFA at LB worth pursuing

[dolphan39]

we need another LB to replace Gaylon and play S-T. I expect this to be filled via the draft or a UFA at/near the Vet. Min.

from this list of guys who might fit that bill: http://nfl.kffl.com/teams/free_agents/2002/lb.shtml

that are not too many, but here is who I see:

• Aldridge, Allen
• Brigance, O.J. - take 2
• Crockett, Henri -may be too good
• Dixon, Gerald
• Galyon, Scott (Cut) - take 2
• Harris, Bernardo (Cut)
• Jones, Greg anyone from Chi is possible
• Morton, Mike
• Woodall, Lee

We will draft one.

considering all 3 starters were draft picks, we've been able to do that well in the past.

I heard Wanny is not going to pursue any LB's and he is going with Greenwood and Rodgers as the starters.....IMO,he should sign at least on FA LB to provide some experience for greenwood.

 

[dolphan39]

we only have 6 LBs on our roster

1. Zach
2. Derrick
3. Morlon
4. Tommy Hendricks
5. Corey Moore
6. Twan Russell

Corey Moore is an intriguing prospect at backup none the less.

he is and I originally forgot about him, so I could see us waiting for the draft to get another LB (as FinaticalOne said)

Plus Jessie Tuggle is coming out of retirement and begging teams to bring him into camp. 37 years old but can definately make our team in any of the backup spots.

Judging from that list, we will wait it out and see what the draft brings us !

Who is Corey Moore and where did he come from?

 

[alpemomo]

I agree with PHINFAN4LIFE... we should look at the draft, there is no solid LB out there

he's a late season pick up from 2001 - he went to VT - see http://football.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5118

He was great in college.

Word is though that it's a weak LB class this year since so many came out last year. Might not be anything but scrubs left by the time we pick in the 3rd.

myron bell? or would he be too expensive?
