[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;672711]Looks like Foote is trying to tell the Cardinals the same thing.

ILB Andra Davis just got released by the Broncos, if Foote decides to sign with the Cards, at least we could take a look at Davis as an option for ILB.

They used to be the bottom-dwellers, thats for sure. i guess building through the draft and having a rock solid coaching staff is good for something... well that, and being in the NFC West. I sure wish we got to play over 1/3rd of our games against St Louis, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Wide range of opinions on Andra Davis. I've seen plenty of tape with my own two eyes that justifies the Broncos' release of him. Indecisive, slow, misses tackles. However, some really, really smart people think that Davis is one of the most underrated ILBs in the NFL and one of the best 3-4 fits available.

I think they're wrong, but my argument is based off a small sample of what I've seen, so whatever.

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

by stats he's one of the better ones it seems, but I can't say I recall much from him actually watching

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Jason La Canfora says we've inquired with the Rams about the availability of Adam Carriker, which is perplexing only because Carriker would be a 5-technique in our defense. And we already have like eight of those.

I want to see where Jarmon is going to play in this defense. He was projected as a 3-4 DE, but his athleticism allows him to play OLB in the defense, and he might be more valuable there, on the strong side.

Isn't Carriker a RFA?

Carriker and a 2nd for Campbell :)

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

I would take that.

They're looking at Jarmon as a OLB, and I suspect AC (not Andre Carter) as 3-4 DE. I can't imagine the interest is too strong though in Carriker

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Is Carriker any good?

Who cares if he's good or not? He'd be a free agent signing. And we need those!! Talent be damned

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

[quote=JoeRedskin;672765]Is Carriker any good?[/quote]In his current role, I'd say no, but he missed his third season (2009) with some leg injury, and the Rams have switched defenses on him twice, arguably playing him out of position both times.

So his trade value would be based on his developmental prospects as opposed to his production. The equation: knee surgery + development + first round contract cost = cheap.

Gotcha. Thanks. [Should I create a new thread for this? j/k]

I could be wrong but I think last year was his first year in Denver so I don't think there is any Shanny connection with him. Either way he still played Inside in a 3-4 so they might be interested.

You are correct, he was in Cleveland before.
