2009 Free Agents

WE need O line before D line. I would love to get Suggs and Haynesworth, but it was our D that kept this team from going 6-10. Our O line is old and getting decrepit. IF we had the line we had a few years ago we would have probably been in the playoffs, but now they are all injury prone. I still say use the draft a bit more than FA. You can get kids that are cheaper and have them around for the standard 4 year deal, and if they develop you have yourself a great line to build a real team around.

i dont care who we sign as long as there under 30 years old

Another possibility would be to replace MW with another Auburn standout, Karlos Dansby. He was the Cards franchise player this season.

And it's pretty pointless to talk about Suggs, 99.9% chance the Ravens franchise him for next season

I think Jordan Cross would be an ideal free agency move. Bring in Shane Lechler and let Plackmeier Kick.
I can't see us picking up too many so called stars in free agency because it will come to bite us in the butt in about four years.
I would like to see Matt Cassel come in though to replace Collins if he doesn't return. You'd have two guys waiting in the number two spot to take over if JC doesn't work out. Next year is his last year as starter or on the team if he doesn't improve. He has improved and I'm not calling for his head yet . . . .
I'd steer away from too many FA additions because the FO hasn't had too much luck with it over the years.

Wait, you want to convert a punter (Plackemeier) into a kicker and bring in Matt Cassel who has just come off of a season that's probably going to get him franchised or close to franchise money from some team and a starting job for him to backup Jason Campbell. Vinny, is that you?

Watching Sproles of SD today, He would be a good pickup!

Sproles is definitely not an every down back, which is how he's being used tonight with LTs injuries. He's so small and often goes down on first contact. But he's a great return guy, and would be a sweet change of pace back to pair with CP. San Diego would be dumb to let him go, especially with the way Michael Turner has panned out in Atlanta. However we have bigger needs than RB, and I don't how much $$ Sproles will cost.

SmootSmack · 01-03-2009, 10:47 PM

I've been talking about Dansby since last year. If not him, Crowder might not be bad at LB. Would definitely look at Gross or Carey for the OL

Redskin Warrior · 01-03-2009, 11:41 PM

Darren Sproles stock is rising high 300+ all-purpose yards!!!

The nice thing about a Sproles type of back is he's small and very quick which really can upset the timing of a defense after a bigger back like Portis sets the stage.

We used to do this with the John Riggins, Joe Washington combo back in the day.

I've always liked the 2 back system.

nice thread thanks

MTK · 01-04-2009, 10:15 AM

SD would be crazy to let Sproles go. Unless someone offers him a starting job I'd assume SD will push hard to keep him.

Bubba305-ST21- · 01-04-2009, 12:01 PM

I agree with the fact that our O line is the first issue to address. Although if Marcus Washington is released we NEED another LB, I just dont trust Blades and McIntosh out there together, Dansby or Vilma would be a very nice pickup.

Bubba305-ST21- · 01-04-2009, 12:03 PM

I know they both play MLB but I really think they could adjust to an OLB position, especially with the help of London.
