Just took below items off the bloggingtheboys.com website. Looks some Colombo starting to get some interest but nothing said about visits. Also Davis has left Washington w/o a sign contract; he's said he wants to talk to his wife first before he makes a decision. See below:

Jets eyeing Marc Colombo?

Found this in a New Jersey paper.
Right tackle is high on the Jets' list of priorities as well, and Marc Colombo (Cowboys) is reportedly among the players on the Jets' short list.

Found this in a Baltimore paper, but it's already out-of-date as John Stinchcomb has signed.
The Ravens could explore a thin free-agent market, but they might have to overpay for veterans such as Marc Colombo, Jon Stinchcomb or Todd Steussie.

So far, I can only find mentions of two teams besides us with interest in Colombo - interest being a relative term in free agency - the Broncos and the Jets. The Ravens mention just sounds like a list of tackles, not specifically Marc Colombo.

Leonard Davis didn't sign with the Commanders and is going home to Texas to think about his decision.
Davis, 28, who said he would go home to Texas to decide between the Commanders and Cowboys -- he visited Dallas Friday -- met with Commanders coaches and was impressed by the team's operation. In the wake of guard Derrick Dockery's record $49 million contract with Buffalo, Davis said the Commanders have talked to him about playing left guard; Dallas has asked him to play either right guard or right tackle.

John Clayton thought he would sign with Snyder.
So much for Daniel Snyder not being a big player in free agency. The Commanders signed middle linebacker London Fletcher-Baker and cornerback Fred Smoot to five-year deals. They are talking to cornerback Travis Fisher. Offensive lineman Leonard Davis is deciding between the Cowboys and Commanders. Davis pulled an interesting move. He asked Jerry Jones for a massive amount of guarantees in his contract. When he didn't get them, he left for Snyder's private plane and a trip to Washington. Don't you get the feeling he's going to end up with the Commanders?

Davis- or his agent- were dazzled by what Dockery got. So he went real high and JJ slapped him down. Amazingly, it seems that Danny Boy is actually learning something and did not blow everything on Davis. Or he does not have enough cap space to really do the guaranteed part.

thats not good news, tannebaum the jets gm is a close friend of parcells.

I would imagine the jets know all they need to know about him and will offer him a contract.

I agree.

This is not good news.

They need a RT as badly as we do.

Sounds to me like Davis is trying to use the Commanders to fleece the Cowboys. I'm in favor of his signing as an OG but if he is demanding starting OT money, they have to let him go. The fiscal health of the Cowboys is more important.

As far as Colombo, my untrained eye sees him as an above average RT but not elite. Based on the highest contract prior to '07 free agency, his talent only warrants a contract 75%-90% of the highest paid RT or 65%-80% of the highest paid OT.

That is probably about right for COlumbo. of course it could be argued that with his limited experience he should improve; and he should get stronger with another offseason to work out.
