Any good free agent O-lineman or D-lineman available for next season?

[Counter-Tre]

I am putting together my Christmas list for Daniel Snyder and need to know what linemen to put on there.

[T.O.Killa]

Haynesworth of the Titans, I think will be available.

Would love to have him! I will put him on my wish list for The Danny.

I hear Jason Taylor's going to be available. Maybe we should go after him?

Julius Peppers would be a fun upgrade to Carter, but we'd just try to bump Carter to the left side and be in the exact same situation we are now.

Shane Olivea might be worth a look, even now. Anyone know the extent of his back injury.

I thought Peppers played RDE. At least I remember him schooling Jansen a few years back. He's certainly got the size to play both positions.

I think we need to draft some o-linemen. Even though we can't get any pressure on the qb the defense isn't the problem with this team. We need a RT ASAP.

Carolina moves him all over the place. The way Evans has played though, I don't think we have a hole at LDE if we can get him resigned. Andre Carter though is a no doubt above average defensive end against both the run and the pass. So if we signed Peppers, it would be to replace Evans in the lineup, and though they are the same age, it would just be the same type of mistake we make year after year if Peppers disappoints.

We clog the LDE position, probably overpay for the guy, and then the sack production still doesn't significantly improve. Because the problem is interior DL/scheme related (in the sense that pre-snap reads are effective against us, so QBs can get the ball out under pressure).

I think the fact that Jason Taylor hasn't improved our sack rate, and has actually forced Carter's sack production to decline is about as solid as evidence gets that personnel at end is not the reason why we can't sack QBs.

Does anyone know what happened to Heyer being our next RT. They loved him, he got hurt and Jansen did well. Now Jansen is doing worst than ever why have'nt we put him back in?

I completely agree... and after watching Montgomery absolutely throw a few guys around on some plays I have to say I see why everyone says he has the strength to be an elite DL... and it baffles me why they can't get production of him. He's a monster... but none of our guys are achieving their potential inside that line. Griffin is usually pretty stout, but he's not what he was 2 years ago and there's really no one else that can cause enough commotion up the middle. Our ends are rushing and the QB has all kinds of room to step up into the pocked because its completely vacant in the middle.

More hole plugging instead of building from the inside out. Until this changes it will be the same old Skins.

Fill needs via the draft!

How many first round picks do you think we have. Neither one alone is the answer. That doesn't mean we should go looking for top players.

I just wonder about the uncapped year the next year.

How does that affect salary cap restructures? Can we bump guys like Marcus Washington's and Randel El's salary down and have it count less for 2009? If it came to it could they be cut and have the dead space they'd count the season after magically vanish because there's no cap in 2010?

Will we see guys sign a contract for 1.5 next year, 30 mil in 2010 and 2.5 in 2011?
