I know alot of people on here are going through the let down after Arrington signed with NY, so I started looking at the remaining free agents to see where we could fill some holes with the newly available cash.

If Ricky cant play this year and we are looking for someone to come in and maybe be a 2nd or 3rd RB, there are some guys out there that could fill that void. I know some want to give Morris a shot as do I but IMO you can never be too deep at RB.

My top available RB's would have to be Stephen Davis, edit:Henry is still under contract with the Titans this year and is scheduled to make league minimum, Lamar Gordon, and Anthony Thomas.
Now all of these guys have question marks, but I think in a platoon with Morris any of the 4 could be at least servicable should anything happen to Ronnie.

At CB there are some decent options out there, and with a guy like Ty Law still there he is going to learn that his price tag early has cost him money. He wants to win a championship, and Im sure wouldnt mind beating the Pats along the way. Charles Woodson is next and I am just not sold on him anymore. Then you get into the next level of guys headed by guys like Ahmed Plummer. So if we can wait out Ty Law I think we will be one of the most appealing teams once he runs out of options.

At FS there are two former Dolphins out there that I would love to see brought in, that being Arturo Freeman and Lance Schulters. Maybe we could up the offer and bring Schulters back into the fold.

There are a few OL out there that are still young and with what Houck has done with the crap we had these are guys that were drafted high and never lived up to their potential. I have two guys that jumped out at me in Mike Pearson and Jordan Black. Black has been sitting behind some pretty good talent on that OL in KC, so you cant really knock his lack of playing time. Another guy is available in Clevelands Jeff Faine, but he would only be available via trade.


If any of these guys have been signed please let me know and I will pull them out, if you have watched these guys, feel free to give your opinion. I just think that not getting Lavar may allow us to fill some other holes, then with the draft we could really solidify this team.

I truly don't know why we cut Freeman. He did pretty good most of the times.

I dont either, but we are thin at S and he is still a decent player. I havent gotten to watch him alot lately so I dont know how hes been playing.

Dude, Travis Henry is not a FA. He is signed to the Titans for like 2 - 3 more years:sidelol:
 
I too love to bring back Lance but was thinking he had already signed some where. Maybe not but that was what I was thinking. As for the RBs I would rather let Morris back up Ronnie and if Ricky doesn't come back then give KJ Harris his shot. I was always a big fan of his and think he can play in this league. I see him as a Reben Droughnstype back. The OL is something I think we are ok at, however upgrading is always nice. JMO
 
Pastabelly is reporting that Hollis Thomas may be available for trade and should be cheap.... Just a though although I am not real keen on trades unless its for a player and not picks.
 
yea i think we should go for law.if we were going to put out the big money for lavar we should do it for law

Im pretty sure I havent seen Schulters signed anywhere, Im not suggesting any of these OL as starters. Just depth and guys to push our current starters.
 
Hollis Thomas would have been a good trade option if Philly were below Miami in draft standing. I say the team signs Gary Walker, cuts Zgonina and goes on with draft strategy.

If we are looking at DL what about Grady Jackson?

He noted that his information could be incorrect and asked for corrections. You chose to do it by being a dick. ESPN has him listed as a FA. It's hard to keep up with every player wise enough to want the **** off of the sinking ship known as the L.A. Bills.

RE: Freeman

We cut him because he was not very good. He went to the Packers with Bates as Bates boy and couldnt keep a roster spot and got cut, he went to the Rams after and got cut. I am not certian but I think he landed with one more team, either the titans or pat's (not sure) but he's a free agent after being cut 4 times last year. I dont think four NFL franchises and coaches can be wrong.
