I hate being that guy to post a "lets sign this cut" thread, but with the recent Hicks injury this is a position of need for us. I cant imagine we wouldn't be a better team if we had him with us, plus anything he can help against the Pats is always a plus. Anyone know more about him? Not sure how much his production has dropped but he used to be a beast.

If Brian Waters becomes available he will be heavily sought after. What is NE doing? I'd expect Miami to go straight after him, that'd REALLY improve our OLine.

Jerry is just so inconsistent. Do you pass up the opportunity to sign him or do you roll the dice with Jerry once again? He's improved, but we need guards. Need them desperately.

Waters wants to get paid, so Miami might not be ready to do that.

If we werent willing to pay Jake Scott, what makes anyone think we would pay Waters?

 

[ckparrothead]

Because he's a better player, IMO.

 

[dolpns13]

We will not sign him. We never sign good players that we desperately need.

I will be shocked if this happens. He wants to get paid.

 

[DolfanISS]

He's not going to the patriots?

 

[Zounds]

He's 35 years old and didnt report to camp? I doubt he plays for anyone.

pats are having o-line issues also.

i dont see billichek letting a guy go who still has enough game to get it done at this point.

besides, people keep forgetting that philbin uses a certain type of lineman in his scheme, smaller, faster athletic types.

i dont see waters being that it this point in his career. and this is why we have passed on some of the other guys. they dont fit the sytsem and are old and or damaged and want to much for what they would give us.

billichek saying no thanks to waters is a red flag for me. to bad ireland didnt get the message when bill ran off chad homey the clown. would have saved philbin a lot of backlash and heartache.

If he was good enough to be a starter would he be avalible?
