I was thrilled to get Sammy Knight, but I am still holding my breath over the Patrick Surtain fiasco. They say it will probably get done, but not before draft day. Maybe even not before we are on the clock with our #2 pick. If Miami/Surtain works out a deal with someone else and leaves us out in the cold, it will be our own darn fault. I say pick up Surtain now, and try to draft Carlos Rogers if he is still there at 15. Hmmm...a youngster with boatloads of potential could have a worse mentor than Surtain... Oh yeah, and we could do a lot worse than acquiring half of Miami's backfield on defense.
This may not be exhaustive, but here goes: <u>Biggest mistake:</u> GM Carl Peterson got a new 4-year deal <u>Free Agent Signings</u> Kendrell Bell (PIT) LB Sammy Knight (MIA) S Robert Holcombe (RAM) FB Carlos Hall (TEN) DE Darrell Hill (TEN) RB <u>Re-signed:</u> Scott Fujita LB Quentin Caver LB Thomas Barnett OT (Allocated to NFL Europe last year) Marc Boerigter WR Shanard Harts S <u>One's that got away</u> Derrick Blaylock RB (to JET) Monte Beisel LB (to NE) <u>Pending:</u> Patrick Surtain (MIA) CB I also think Jared Allen (9 sacks as a rookie last season) got an extension.
