Who do you go after in FA and Why?!

Don't know if anyone caught this from another thread about having DEs, but Vanden Bosch is close to signing an extension with the Titans. Count him out. I want Joe Jurivicious, J. Peterson, and Bentley.
 
I would want LT,Jeff Backus 6'5 305 or Kevin Shaffer 6'5 290 and LeCharles Bentley to upgrade the o-line and would take Tank Williams and put him at the FS spot and let C.C. and Glen fight for the SS spot and John Abraham and let Peek And Babin fight for the other end spot and draft everything else

I aree with all,just Bentley i think will cost way to much,we could look at an older Mike Flannagan from GB at C.On D i would like to see Tank at S,either
Akin Ayodele, or Wil Witherspoon @ OLB,Anthony Wright (Balt) DE. Remember i'm trying to keep the cost down so thats why there are obvious studs missing from this wish list.Also on the OL you could try LJ Shelton LT CLE,or Jon Runyan Philly @ RG.

I think you mean Weaver, he's an UFA out of Baltimore. I like this guy I think he could definetely get worked into our lineup. If we were to go after LBs I like the guys you mention, but I think you should include June in there.

I dunno about that. June may not re-sign with the Colts, and since this is his first yr. really showing any real talent many may use that to bring down his market value. He will still be pricey, but would still be a nice addition and of all the LB positions we need help at MLB is the one that needs it most.
 
I don't understand why we want to look for a WR. AJ is great, and I think Armstrong is solid. Mathis also has a huge amount of potential if he can stay healthy (he should have someone stretching the crap out of him every day). I think we're much more pressed to find a TE and some defense.

According to many on this board Armstrong has trouble running routes; Gaffney is a UFA; Bradford is surely gone and Mathis hasn't proven himself in the passing game yet. That's why a solid, proven #2 is needed; especially if we don't sign Gaff.

Agree we need a TE and defense also.
 
The Texans need to go after FAs like they will hopefully go in the draft. From most important to still important but not dier needs:
o-lineman
DEs
#2 corner
 
Im going to try and be realistic.

Akin Ayodele OLB

Aaron Kampman DE or Carlos Hall DE

Nate Burleson WR or Antonio Bryant WR

Chris Hope FS or Will Demps FS
 
Yo im not quite sure,who we could get in FA, but think about this, Jamal Lewis is now a FA, so we could get him,plus if we trade down we could get John Abraham and D'Brickshaw Ferguson in the draft.
The last of my FA signings we could take some offensive linemen,Linebackers(Hoping we dont do that in the draft.) Plus we could also get Ike Taylor as our solid #3 CB or even(which I doubt) our #2 CB


Man I can't Wait for this draft:drool:
 
Saints | Team won’t tag Bentley
Wed, 22 Feb 2006 19:00:17 -0800

Mike Triplett, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports the New Orleans Saints are not planning to place a franchise or transition tag on free agent OC LeCharles Bentley. He almost certainly will find a new home when the NFL's free agency period begins March 3. "I'm not ruling out the idea of coming back," Bentley said. "But with that being said, New Orleans has had ample opportunity to put their bid on the table. And once the other bids start coming in, I have to make the best decision I can." He was disappointed that the team did not sign him to a long-term contract extension sooner. Bentley, who is now represented by Neil Schwartz, is expected to seek a contract similar to what the Carolina Panthers gave guard Mike Wahle last year, reportedly a five-year deal worth up to $28 million with $11.5 million in bonuses. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis also did not rule out the possibility that the Saints could re-sign Bentley, but they have allowed themselves the possibility to be outbid for his services.

Sign this man.:drool:
 
This dude needs to be on our team. Actually they need to put any draft day stuff on the back burner and work at getting this dude and that Lepsis guy.

From there, you can draft whoever you want.

I pretty much feel the same way. If they can make at least one considerable upgrade to our line in free agency then I will be more patient come draft time. I'm tired of hearing so much VY/RB hype when the O-line is still the most pressing need on our team. Get Bentley and start the healing.
