Some FA ideas at DE and at OLB

[Woods]

I thought I'd mention some names we could possibly look at in FA at DE and OLB.

We all know about

1. Igor Olshansky, San Diego
Wade should know quite a bit about him. The problem is that he will be in demand and his price will be high after the Canty deal.

2. Mike Wright, New England
Rotational guy along the DL. Can see action at DE or NT. He's around 6-5" and weighs about 295 lbs. He did have around 2.5 sacks last year and 2 FF.

3. Demetric Evans, Washington
Ex-Cowboy if I remember correctly. I thought he was solid against the run and can generate some pass rush.

Can he play DE in Wade's 34?

4. Finally, as an OLB, what about E Ekuban? I'm sure we all remember him. He sat out 2007 with an Achilles' injury, but I think he registered 5 sacks last season.

In case we do cut Ellis, or if we want another pass rusher, maybe he could be had relatively cheaply?

I know his memory may bring back the bad ole' days, but I think Parcells initially tried to convince him to try playing OLB before he split and left for Denver.

Any other names you guys can think of in FA?

Kalimba Edwards at OLB

Kalimba Edwards at OLB

Yes, he could be interesting as well.

I think guys like him in Wade's system could generate some QB pressure and get 5-8 sacks in a season.

C.J. Mosley (Put up 8 sacks in 4 years as a backup compared to Canty's 10 as a starter)

That may work. If we can get him cheap I'm all for it.

The person I want us to bring in is Pierre Woods if NE does not sign him. He is flat out a football player. Not spectacular, but a great role player. Brings toughness, plays ST, and for the most part is sound. No I'm not suggesting he start, but you cant have enough of these types of players.

He would also be relatively cheap.

I wanted him too, but they put the 2nd round tender on him as suspected.

Damn. Thanks for the update, I had not heard any news on him.

I would be all for sign Fred Robbins if the Giants release him, and Kalimba Edwards

Yea we need more role players....Igor can be our end hear.....I think we are going to get veterans at DE,OLB, offensive Linemen we dont got depth

The more I read about Fred Robbins, the more I am in favor of this move.

Me too and I think he would be more productive then Canty was..

Problem is I don't think the Giants cut him. He along with Canty is one of their starting DTs.

 

[AbeBeta]

Let's see, we wouldn't pay Canty but we are going to pay Igor O? He's going to get a similar deal.

No kidding.

As much as it's pains me to say this, I agree.

The longer a player is out there in FA the price goes down. Happens every year. I think we sign two more players before the draft. CB and either a DE or DT.

Robbins in no danger of being cut.............................

 

[Bob Sacamano]

dang, that rotation is going to be deadly

I like Kalimba Edwards too, but I don't know how many underachieving ex-Lions this team can take.

How??? He has been in the league for awhile now and is 29 years old. Isn't be on his 2nd contract or something??
