I think Kerry Collins is going to be cut too after the season. And the Panthers really need to re-sign Deshaun Foster, great player in the years to come.

I hope we re-sign Randel El, we really need to. And we need to resign Chris Hope but i'm guessing he wants more money which we don't give. And Kimo von Oelhoffen? not sure, I think he is gonna become a free agent. We should be able to re-sign Deshea Townsend & Ike Taylor as well. I hope Reggie Wayne & Edgerrin James goes to another team so the Colts aren't that dominated next year

Tyree has to be resigned, and I'm sure he will be. Whitfield will probably be gone, Shiancoe could be gone but he's more valuable to our offense than people think, Hasselbeck might be back, Ponder will be back, Berton may be back he's been solid on special teams, I'd like to see Chad Morton return to the Giants next year.Will Allen coming back really depends on Will Peterson's health. If they're unsure about it, they may re-sign him. otherwise he's as good as gone, even though he has played well.Nick Greisen will probably be back, he's been real solid this year.We need Kenderick Clancy back, the guy has been a beast.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (iknobaer @ Nov 27 2005, 12:11 AM)</div><div class='quotemain'>BattleStill unsure of what RFA means, but, please dont go</div> It means Restricted Free Agent -- a player who may be free to sign with another team, but with certain restrictions. Often times the player's current team may have to sign off on the deal, or, more frequently, may have the right to match the terms and conditions of the proposed new contract, or the current team may be entitled to compensation in the form of money or draft picks from the player's new team.(Definition courtesy of Dictionary.com)
lol, I knew it meant restricted free agent, but thanks for the clear up, so its the same thing like in baseball, cool, thanks

A sack machine, only 26 years old I think, maybe younger. He can come to St. Louis!
Mathis is a product of playing next to Dwight Freeney and all the double coverages he faces. While he is a talented DE, those kind of numbers arent going to last throughtout his career.
I think the only reason Mathis gets sacks is cuz all the O-Linemen are trying to block Freeney so he just has an easier way of getting by. He's good and yes he is a sack machine but I donno if it would be a big deal if he left, it wouldn't be hard for someone else to fill in and do the same thing.
yeah true jhair, i gotta agree what you just said.I hear everybody always double dwight freeney, but if Mathis is next by him, and you have a guy that is doubling freeney, a guy like mathis obviously gonna make some big plays you know. If he left, he won't be a big loss, he will be good but not as dominated IMO.
Has anyone mentioned David Givens? The man is playing solid for the Patriots and will always be productive play for any team
