We can just agree to disagree with Peppers

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

We should sign Lechler and not worry about a punter for many years.

lechler will probably be the most expensive punter ever but ya I agree with that, and if shayne graham is a free agent maybe him too, or we could draft like a pat macaffee or louie sakoda...but ya the last time we drafted a "Good" punter he's ahh...no where now

Thats one position were good at. We have other glaring needs.

This is one of the those times where I'm OK paying a little bit of extra cash for a punter. PROVEN commodity and punters typically don't cost that much cash.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;519398]Wrong!! You keep both of these guys and get rid of Griffin. Both of these guys are young and keep getting better. They might not be starters but are pretty good in a rotation and add depth.[/quote]

I agree

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

For what its worth, JLCs sources indicated we werent going to do much to address the kicking situation. Everthing JLC has written indicates we have a lot of needs, but Snyders having hard times financially and we're not going to do much to address our needs this offseason.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

I am not too big on Peppers after the JT saga. Our speedy pass rushing ends cannot touch the QB when the pocket is intact and can step back into the pocket and make their throws. Montgomery and Golston are good rotational DTs that can stop the run but ineffective in pushing back the pocket. Griffin IMO is the only DT we've got that can, at times, penetrate the middle when he is healthy enough. If anything we should bring back Griff (though injury prone and expensive) if he takes a paycut. Look for a FA DT that can rush the pocket like Jovan Hayes (sp) or Tank Johnson dare I say it, to help the interior and then maybe our current ends can get more sacks.

Jordan Gross is likely to be franchised but he will command big bucks if he hits FA, something hopefully the Skins are staying away from, according to JLConfora. I'd prefer to draft an OT (big 4 @ 13 or trade down for William Beatty or Eben Britton). Veron Carey is one 'not so pricey' option in FA. Its better to build the lines this year and next via draft while bringing down our cap room by gradually releasing the non performing vets that are eating up our cap instead of adding more potential candidates to it. Our current roster needs upgrading in the next 2 years at least, so making big splashes for Peppers or Gross doesn't make sense if we do not look like we will in the SB next year.

Leigh Bodden was released by the Lions. He's got good hands and is a decent man corner. Sign him up and send Carlos packing.(in exchange for some picks of course)

please pluck brandon jacobs out of the

[quote=theJBexperience;525991]Leigh Bodden was released by the Lions. He's got good hands and is a decent man corner. Sign him up and send Carlos packing.(in exchange for some picks of course)[/quote]Huge downgrade, but Bodden would look REALLY good here as a nickelback.

I would offer him a contract. Don't know what the market would be like for his services though.

He had a really rough year, but might be a better cover guy than Hall (assuming this year wasn't indicative of a decline). Not that Blache would ever play him or anything.

Heard the Ravens, or maybe it was the Browns, were going hard after Jacobs

That would be an excellent signing.
