Samuel said he would sign that last year for the Patriots. That doesn't mean he will do it once he hits the open market.

I do unserstand we could draft a CB in first, but why not use that pick for another position and get a FA to fill a hole. Someone maybe you caid Samuel could only be a cover 2 CB and might not be as good in our system. I just disagree.

Rick Smith will undoubtedly try to fill one to three obvious needs through free agency. We'll just have to wait and see which ones he can get filled.

ALso, would not players on team such as Ahman Green be willing to re-do contract to free up cash?

Generally when contracts get done they get lengthened--not sure that is a viable option with Green.

I hope Green is released after this season!

So if the Texans choke in the last games and the 9ers go on a winning streak, do we have a shot at McFadden?

If so, if we don't take him, maybe we can get Jerry Jones on the phone

I would like to see Julius Jones come to town. In my personal opinion, I would much rather invest in a FA RB than spend a draft pick gambling. Yes, our last free agency RB (Green) didn't play out so well, but just about anyone could have seen that coming. Jones has been doing well for the majority of his career and doesn't have a reputation for being injury prone. I think he would be a fine addition to any team, especially ours. I find Derrick Ward interesting as well, but I would still prefer Jones.
