[quote=SmootSmack;528574]Apparently the Lions have traded Jon Kitna to the Jets. No confirmation yet[/quote]

Did they trade player(s) or pick(s)? Kitna couldn't be worth more than 4th rounder at this point I would think.

K Warner will be back in 09' and beyond

[quote=44ever;528563]I wonder if there is a possibility that J. Taylor goes back to the Fins in 09'[/quote]

Seems really unlikely 44. The Big Tuna played that hand perfectly and i doubt either parties want to revisit things.

I meant if we cut him. I realize its unlikely but it seems possible. Guess I was thinking/posting out loud.

No idea, don't even know if it's true. But if it is I'd guess a draft pick (5th or 6th rounder maybe)

The question is will he re-sign with Arizona or go elsewhere? IMO the Cardinals would be foolish to let him walk. If they can afford it, they should give him 2yrs $20M.

Or we should. j/k:) I think they (AZ) would break the bank for him.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

[quote=Trample the Elderly;528572]Sucks for them, but you're not saying we should get him right?[/quote]

No I was just adding it to the free agent thread. I believe in getting younger through the draft, and developing players. Marvin Harrison is a Pro-bowl WR but he is on the decline at 36.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Definatly no to Harrison.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Warner reportedly is asking for 12-14M/yr. and Arizona is offering 8-10 according to John Clayton. A little bit of a discrepancy. Also the Rams could part ways with Orlando Pace.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

[B]How about Michael Boley, Falcons OLB [/B]26 years old. Had a crappy 08 season but has been pretty solid 06 and 07 In 2007, Boley finished one behind Keith Brooking for the team lead in tackles. He took down a career-high 109 ballcarriers after making 85 tackles the season prior. He had three sacks in ’06 and three in '07

"There is a sense from close observers of the team that Boley didn’t completely buy into Smith’s program. Boley could try to find a team that’s willing to utilize him in a way he’s more comfortable".

I think this guy is young enough and has the talent to rebound. We might be able to pick him up for as little as 3-4M a year. Since the Falcons are using him as a split and have benched him this past season.

We should at least check Boley out. The only bad year he's had was last year and that was after a coaching change and some personal problems. We should give him a look.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

I like Boley, don't get me wrong, but I think he's on the light side at 223lb. Jacobs would run him over, we need beefy LB's.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Are Igor OLchansky and Chris Canty UFA's? If so, we should sign both of these guys.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

I know Canty is. Not sure about the other guy.
