[AbeBeta]

the have Victor Riley as their #3 ranked free agent OT.

didn't he get cut because he couldn't play on the worst OL in the league?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Steve Hutchinson
Will Witherspoon
Corey Chavous
Jeff Backus

I would piss myself

 

[AbeBeta]

How many times do we need to tell everyone that Hutchinson is not going anywhere. Neither is Bentley.

And stop saying "but the franchise tag costs too much" -- you can franchise then work out a long term, cap friendlier deal.

I highly doubt the Saints Franchise Bentley. Hutchinson probably wont go anywhere, but it won be easy for Seattle to keep both him and Alexander.

Alexander will fit in nicely with the rest of cream puffs in Indy.

franchise or not -- highly doubt that they let the one good player they have get away

 

[TheHustler]

I just want a veteran C and FS in FA.

Please oh please.

Sounds good but....what's to stop either guy from simply signing the tender? A guard or center would have to think about taking a guaranteed $7m one year salary, don't you think? Can NO or Seattle even afford to offer that? It means you have to have 7m of open cap space. It's a risky proposition at best.

Right, they will need the $$$ under the cap to sign Lienhert. But then again, they may franchise him, because they will need to protect their new investment.

 

[The30YardSlant]

You can't franchise a rookie

 

[TheSport78]

david boston rated higher than joe jurivicius?? hmm

 

[jazzcat22]

I meant franchise Bently to protect Lienhert.

You think they are passing up a 12-15 million SB to do that? Now that would be risky for the player.

 

[dfense]

He is soft. They never even tried to run up the middle against Pittsburgh. All Shawn's runs were towrds the sidelines.

 

[Woods]

I'd love to get a FS, one LB, RT, Kicker, and a run stuffing DT in FA.

Wish we could swap Glover (if we're not going to pick up this tab this year anyway) for a big dude in the middle to complement Fergy.

Yhea, that's probably asking for too much, but that's what I want . . . .

 

[JonJon]

OMG!!! Peerless Price, Antonio Bryant, Quincy Morgan, Aveion Cason, Anthony Wright, AND Vinny Testaverde!











:eekmouse:

 

[Alexander]

the have Victor Riley as their #3 ranked free agent OT.

That inclusion alone makes these rankings completely useless.

 

[jterrell]

The Saints have one of the cheaper owners in the league. I don't see them keeping a center and making him the highest paid guy on their team. But all the guys in the top 30 will have suitors galore starting with their current teams.

Vanderjagt is a great fit and may not get much love in Indy.
I suspect Seattle to choose between Hutchinson and Alexander. Tough call for them based on the wear and tear of backs but Alexander is at the top of RBs now. He's probably the 4th or 5th most desired back going into next season behind LT, Larry Johnson and arguable a few others.

IMHO Dallas has to identify guys who can fit their system first and foremost. They like strong OL who wear on defenses but also execute good form. That was Rivera to a tee but alas he got hurt and never showed strength last season at all. Hopefully ythat changes. The only other Dallas OL who can do that is Flo Adams and we just have to keep fingers crossed with regards to him.

There are lots of intriguing guys but lists will change as guys get re-signed/cut.

Turned it off in the second half, huh?
