Something about Ty Law in a Skins uniform would make me very happy

Why would you want an aging CB coming in to block Barnes and Tryon's developments?

I'm still having nightmares of MW getting smoked by J. Witten. Leave him on the free agent market.

No Job is promised in the NFL, I don't care if you were drafted by us or not... who ever will help us win... Development is what the practice squad is for.

If Horton hadn't of blown his assignment and came over the top like he was suppose to, nobody would have gotten "smoked".

And Law will be able to cover many WRs? I highly doubt it, and the fact of his availability in the market proves my point..

I certainly wouldn't keep Tryon over a proven CB who would play for cheap. I am excited about Barnes but just because you draft someone shouldn't guarantee a roster spot if a FA would make you better. When you are 8-8 every starting spot should be open.

We weren't even that good.

Edit: Ok we were that good. Haha i thought we went 7-9. Nothing to see here move along.

Yes, but smart teams also develop their young player, and giving them the opportunity to play in real games (instead of practice) is the best development a player can get. Besides, our CB unit is pretty solid right now, why bring in an aging player to the mix? I don't think anyone is handing Barnes or Tryon a starting spot, but they should see action in the defensive rotation this year, and bringing someone like Law would hinder that.

Jeremy Tuman would help this team win right now, but I don't think they'll go get him because they want to have Eddie Williams win Yoder's spot as backup FB/3rd TE.

If we were willing to stash Williams on the PS for a year, Tuman could pay off big time on the GL.

Exactly and I love Gibbs as much as most of the next guys, but the plug in old guys who might be able to do it now approach did set us back.

Honestly there is no promise that Tryon or Barnes will beat out Smoot or Westbrook for a crack at the starting lineup... An invite to camp doesn't install you instantly in the final roster if you a vetran. It only sets you up with the opportunity to compete. A player like Chris McAllister, Samari Rolle, or Ty Law could come in here and make a positive impact. Filling the roll of the crafty vetran, who can cover the slot and spell Landry at Free Safety on occasion. All I'm worried about is a repeat of the last play of the Rams game last year, when tryon got burned on a game winning play ughh!

That was Torrence not Tryon who got burned, and we cut him. We just need to let the yonger guys step up, and signing a veteran CB would screw up Tyron and Barnes's developement.

I can't see Westbrook making the team and I can't see us PS'ing a 3rd rounder.

true on not putting barnes on PS but Tryon on the other hand why not?
