NFL Draft/Free Agent/Trade Ideas

[Bravo95]

One thing I do like about Montee Ball is he definitely has a nose for the end zone. So if nothing else he should be a good goal line back, better than we've had.

Release Candidates:

Chris Johnson -- $9 million of Johnson's $10 million 2013 base salary will become guaranteed on February 9. While the Titans could theoretically cut Johnson before that date and take themselves off the hook for the remainder of the guarantees in his contract, the Nashville Tennessean has reported that they'll keep Johnson and pay him in full. Despite maddening inconsistency, the Titans view Johnson as a core offensive player and have plenty of 2013 cap space to retain him.

DeAngelo Williams -- Signed to one of the worst running back contracts in league history two offseasons ago, Williams turns 30 in April and is owed $4.75 million in 2013 base pay after averaging a full yard less per carry than he did in 2011. All of Williams' guaranteed money has been paid, but the $4.85 million hit to release him may be prohibitive for cap-strapped Carolina.

Ahmad Bradshaw -- Bradshaw's feet and knees have become unreliable to the point that he can barely practice anymore leading up to games. Although still effective on the field, the Giants may deem Bradshaw's $4 million in salary and bonuses too costly for a likely timeshare back lacking durability. They could save $1.5 million versus the cap by releasing Bradshaw after the season.

Michael Turner -- Turner is the surest big-name veteran running back to be released this offseason after first-year Falcons coordinator Dirk Koetter progressively phased him out of the offense as the 2012 season moved along. Lacking short-area burst and passing-game value, Turner turns 31 in February and is owed a $5.5 million salary, none of which is guaranteed.

Eddie Lacy, guys. Eddie Lacy.

[HowFit]

Bye bye Turner. Yeah, I would be happy if we draft Ball...

[dee279]

Eddie Lacy, guys. Eddie Lacy.

Lacy looked amazing last night. Well all of Alabama did actually, but Lacy with those cuts and spins...

[dee279]

Bye bye Turner. Yeah, I would be happy if we draft Ball...

Ball would be nice but he has alot of Wear and tear. He reminds me alot of Turner.

[Bravo95]

Yeah that's another good thing about Lacy is he's never been used as a real workhorse because Bama has maintained a handful of talented backs under Saban and kept them all fresh. I don't know if he's a every down back, but I believe he'll thrive in a RBBC (with someone like Quizz).

Their interior OL was putting in some serious work, especially Warmack. He looked like a young Carl Nicks out there.

I hope we can find a way to land him in the draft.

Young Carl Nicks? Thats real high praise

[Bravo95]

^Yeah he's no joke. The next time you see highlights of that game, just watch how Bama's interior O-Line clears out space like it's nothing. Warmack went to high school in Atlanta also, but he should be off the board by the time the Falcons make their first pick.

Here are a few observations on some other players from the BCS Championship Game:

Alabama RB Eddie Lacy: The powerful junior was the star of the game, putting together one highlight-reel run after another. Lacy showed off his foot quickness with a few nifty jump cuts to avoid tacklers at the line of scrimmage, then he sought out contact, running over other Irish defenders. He also caught the ball well and eluded opposing tacklers with a couple of nasty spin moves. His play reminded me of former Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis. Like Lewis, Lacy has quick feet and runs angry.

[Ramon Nivar]

That is exactly what we need. I hate watching this team try to play inside the 5.

Remember how nice it was to have T.J. Duckett? He was a monster in the red zone.

Damn that sucks then.

Well if we get Lacy, i hope he does a Jamal Lewis and goes over 2000 yards

Yeah Duckett and Dunn
