- To complement Edwards, they have David Patten and Robert Royal
- They will have a QB competition between Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn, either one of which could have conceivably been Mark Brunell's successor if not for Campbell.

I don't see this ending well.

Brett Favre

Coach Eric Mangini would like Brett Favre to attend Browns training camp this summer as a "guest instructor."

Favre remains under contract with the Jets, but we'll refrain from the "that hasn't stopped him before" comments. Mangini visualizes Favre helping Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson and stresses that it would be nothing "formal." It's certainly fair to question the wisdom of inviting a media circus in Mangini's first year on the job.

Heh, maybe Favre could teach Anderson how to throw a hard ball with touch.

Saints Add Another Safety
Posted by Mike Florio on March 26, 2009, 11:56 a.m.

A week or so after signing free agent Darren Sharper, the Saints are shoring up their last line of defense with another veteran safety.

According to Adam Caplan of Scout.com, the Saints have agreed to terms with Pierson Prioleau.

Prioleau will serve as a backup to Sharper and Roman Harper.

The move reunites Prioleau with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams; they have worked together in Jacksonville, Washington, and Buffalo.

In ten NFL seasons, Prioleau has played primarily as a reserve. In 2002, however, he was a 16-game starter for the Bills. And he began the 2006 season as a starting safety with the Redskins, but suffered a torn ACL on the opening kickoff of the team’s Week One game.

In Jacksonville last season, Prioleau appeared in 16 games, starting once.

Would'nt Derrick Brooks be an ideal stop gap LB, for us.

[Hamoskinz]

I like the idea of Brooks as a stop gap (one yr deal) but I don't think he would come at the min vet.

I was wondering why he is still on the market but it's like that for a reason.

Is Koren Robinson a FA? I saw his name on a FA list but I'm not sure. If he is, then that would be a good WR to bring in if we can afford him. He is tall and fast, could help push our rookies.

He would be great as long as we don't need him to catch anything

Are you freaking kidding me? Robinson is a bad locker room influence on Kelly and Thomas.
Always super talented but missing something upstairs and has had major alcohol issues in the past. No thanks. If we are gonna bring in an old vet try Holt or Harrison? But Id pass on them too unless it was very cheap or ARE or Moss were injured or something. Id rather bring in a hungry late round pick or F/A special teams kinda guy to take Thrash's spot

Isn't Harrison going on trial for shooting someone in Philly?

[mrreddman]

Yeah I forgot about gangster Marvin for a minute. Guess it shows you how much I am NOT wanting to bring in anyone at that spot. But yeah cross him off the list too...

My guess is that we will sign someone if we don't draft a good LB.

[horse]

June signed for 1.5 why the **** did'nt we get him?
