http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=2674183 Yeah, Adalius Thomas hit the list and is most likely going to be in another uniform next season the more I think about it. He's probably going to be one of those players that will be overpaid and signed within at least the first few days of free agency. The door opens for Dan Cody? Another Raven is Tony Pashos who is playing right tackle for the Ravens and seem to be doing a good job. But if he leaves, the Ravens have to either go into the draft or let Adam Terry take the spot.
OG,CB,S? I think we should hit these positions during the free agency. Green Bay Packers maybes? OG Kris Dielman OG Eric Steinbach OG Cosey Coleman OG Vince Manuwai CB Nate Clements CB Asante Samuel CB Roderick Hood CB Travis Fisher CB David Macklin FS Deon Grant FS Ken Hamlin FS Kevin Kaesviharn SS Michael Lewis
Signing a Guard would be a really dumb move for the Pack. They took 3 offensive guards in the draft and all 3 have peformed pretty good especially for rookies. They need to grow together and gel. They've done it over time but they have the potential to be special down the road. Breaking them up wouldn't make sense. Maybe a veteran backup but I wouldn't waste big money on a offensive lineman this year. T.T. did a rather good job of finding 3 guys with the Draft. DE, CB, SS and TE I think are our biggest need. GB certainly will have the money to go out and sign a marquee name if they choose too but Thompson wants to build via the Draft so I wouldn't count on it.
The thing with me is, Rookie linemen aren't a turn on for me. Even though they are doing well right now, they sometimes need help for a RB or FB at times. DE? Who are we going to loss? We need Kampman! After you said that and i noticed about the Guards...Im thinking CB, FS/SS, RB
I would not mind seeing Adalius Thomas or one of the follwing in aqua & orange next year. Dielman worked w/ Houck previously. Steinbach may want a Hutchinson like deal. I could cope If Miami were to "steal" Clements or Samuel away from divisional rival.
I don't see us getting Freeny but I wonder if the right guy comes along KGB might be replaced unless he picks it up. I was thinking M. Turner and I'd still like him but the way Morency has impressed me I don't covet him as much but he should make a starter. Safety is probably the biggest need as Manuel has got to go
My wish list consists of: Dwight Freeney, Asante Samuel and Kevin Curtis I don't care what it takes to get Freeney here... Just do it! I'm tired of signing mid range FA's... We need a major player on this team for once...

You can't let the picks go to waste especially since their peforming well like you stated. If they were playing poorly then I think guard would be on the radar. Right now though GB has 3 young guards whom are up and coming right now. KGB is an inconsistent player and is overpaid. He's probably going to be cut in the off season because of his high contract. Kampman is great but we need someone to pressure from the other side. Teams consistently run away from Kampman and Pickett and they run right at KGB. That's what Seattle did Monday and it worked pretty well. I know KGB is a fan favorite but he's not the player he once was. I would of said Dwight Freeney but he's having a dissapointing year right now and might not be worth the big contract. I also like Michael Turner from San Diego as a RB. Though he's an RFA but if San Diego gives him a cheap tender then I'd give a 3rd or 4th for him.
Michael Turner is going to be a RFA and I doubt the Chargers would let him go without a first round tender in exchange.
Teams are doing everything they can to take him out of the game and he still gets pressure... Him on a line with Rogers and Redding inside (finally) and Hall opposite we would have a very formidable Defensive Line...

Ron Wolf would be great for the job but I doubt he's ever going to GM again especially since he turned down the Browns a few years ago. Though with a new GM and a Freeny signing and the Drafting of Brady Quinn, it could at least help change the atmosphere in Detriot.
Well I am still anticipating getting rid of the mustache we have there now... He must leave this year... If we get those 3 guys I would believe that this franchise is turning around... I'd even take Joe Thomas over Quinn if Martz really believes in Orlovsky like he says he does (and Martz is still around)... That would be great...
I think Bryant Young is going to be a FA, not sure though...ANY1? Anyway, if he is we definately need to get him back...He is leading the resurgence on defense..
i think Briggs is a Great LB but makes me wonder how he woulod be without people looking for urlacher
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Bears#1Fan)</div><div class='quotemain'>i think Briggs is a Great LB but makes me wonder how he woulod be without people looking for urlacher</div> Thats what Iv'e always thought, however I think that can be said about alot of Players on the bears D, the guy just makes everyone look that much better, even though he let Tom Brady Juke him out last week lol

They can't cause of Mathis on the other side who is outperforming Freeney this season. I think he can rebound, but he has been dismal this seaosn.
I really wish there was more depth at the WR position. The Vikings are going to be something like $40 mil under the cap (or some other ridiculous number) and definitely have room. I would like to see them pickup a good LB, although I do have the same questions about Briggs. Also, we don't need another outside linebacker (well, we do, but...) we need a good middle linebacker who can truly be the defensive QB. I wouldn't mind seeing us beef up a bit in the pass rush area as well.

He's a DE and he's going to demand a very high contract. I kind of think Charles Grant might be the better bargain.

I always see that guy around the QB and teams ARE definately gameplanning for him... I hope he has a down year and we won't have to give him as big of a contract as he thinks he is worth...
