Ted needs to sign some free agents this year

[JLynn943]

It'd be nice to get an at least somewhat-proven pass rusher at DE or opposite Clay. Maybe Perry can do it, but it isn't like we have capable depth anyway.

Anyone, anyone.

I seriously think we have the best cornerbacks in the league as a whole since the emergence of house/Hayward and the bounce back from Shields.

There is no reason we can't find 2-3 guys to put pressure on the qb. IMHO, the 3 man rush is our handicap. Something has to change.

[ugottabjoshinme]

Please let Brad Jones and Walden leave ASAP.

There is no reason for Jones to leave. He should be cheap and has played well at ILB. He'll be a backup next year when Bishop comes back.

[Pinstripe power]

Cut, Benched, Cut, Cut, Cut, IR.

Benson was okay but hell Harris is seemingly doing better.

you missed spelled pro-bowler

[petrey10]

Why brad jones? He has played well IMO... is he a starting ILB on a good team? NO but he has been very valuable depth. As long as he doesn't cost too much then I hope we keep him.


As for the FA signings... I could see us grabbing a DL or OL for added depth but honestly we don't need anything that can't be addressed internally or through the Draft.

I agree with everything you said, I'm pretty impressed with his play at the ILB spot. if they do keep him does he stay in the middle? the ILB spot is pretty crowded when everyones healthy i guess it depends on who isnt cut and stuff but when Desmond and DJ Smith come back im guessing they are both ahead of him, and then of course we have AJ.

[Brewer94]

Lets sign Troy Smith. We can run the option then

[Tram0n man]

Still need a pass rusher. Once again I think that is our biggest issue. Small showing from Perry so can't throw him under the fire but he didn't look that great. Worthy ranked as one of the worst de's in the league. I'm not making that up. I just think our secondary is about as good as it can get right now. If we had any pass rush minus Clay we could crush teams. But we have all seen time after time how much time the opposing qb gets and it's frustrating as all hell.

I would not mind looking at osi.

its either throw him under the bus or throw him into the fire

and is osi gonna play OLB? lol

[Tram0n man]

Like stated above, before we hit Free Agency we have to deal with our own players and Free Agents.

After This season these guys are Free Agents:
Cedric Benson UFA
Ryan Grant UFA
DuJuan Harris UFA
Jarrett Boykin RFA
Donald Driver UFA
Greg Jennings UFA
Tom Crabtree RFA
Robert Francois RFA
Brad Jones UFA
Erik Walden UFA
Frank Zombo RFA
Sam Shields RFA

The guys in Bold are the guys I want back. of course I want Greg back but i just don't think he'll be in GB next season.
Who do you guys want back?

id keep the Frenchman and let walden go

i guess keep benson if we dont draft a RB

[XJW18]

Thats what i was wondering....
He isnt heavy enough to play DE in a 3-4 scheme.

He'll be a Bill next season.

We can get players just as good for cheaper out of the draft and Rookie FA's. Jennings can go and be another Javon Walker bust because he is only good because the Packers scheme. Id like to see DD retire as a Packer so sign him for a cheap deal or hopefully he retires. LB's we can do better, keep Jones as insurance(Nothing like a good ol Harvard grad on your team).

We Need to focus on resigning ARod, BJ, CMIII to long term deals. Hopefully we can work with Woodson and he is willing to sign a new contract for slightly less money too.

When did I say I wanted him as an olb? Perry is still our olb. A bunch of our linemen play different positions on the line, why wouldn't he be able to? Didn't he in New York?

New York is based around a 4-3 scheme I think.
Remember Aaron Kampman? they moved him to OLB because of his weight and size.
Osi weighs about 250 -255. He'd have to play OLB in a 3-4 scheme.
Thats to light to play DE or any D-Line position in a 3-4 IMO. they'd run at him every play.
