FA Resign/Walk

Chris Redman - Walk

Growing in age. We can get a younger replacement for the future.

Jason Snelling - Walk

Another team will give him a bigger role.

Mike Cox - Walk

Ovie is possibly one of the best blocker in the league, so we don't need Cox.

Harry Douglas - Resigned

A dangerous weapon when utilized correctly. We've all seen his flashes of talent to be a great receiver.

Eric Weems - Walk

Good in kick/punt coverage, but constantly put the offense in bad positions. Replaceable.

Reggie Kelly - Walk

Old, useless.

Kirk Chambers - Walk

Old.

Todd McClure - Resigned

He's got one more good year left in him. Never been a liability.

Brett Romberg - Walk

Don't really need him.

John Abraham - Walk

Wants too much money for his age, and ability to get injured every season. Walking.

Kroy Biermann - Resigned

Young. Nolan can do a lot with his skillset. Has shown flashes of brilliance at times.

Curtis Lofton - Resigned

Can't break up 5-0!

Mike Peterson - Walk

Most likely retiring. Injuries.

Brent Grimes - Walk

Possibly looking for too much money coming back aged 29, and off a knee injury. Production was down last season, and he is more replaceable than you think. We have young talented DBs to fill this hole.

Kelvin Hayden - Walk

Bleh

Thomas DeCoud - Resigned

Young, and not ready to give up on him.

James Sanders - Walk

May be good depth, but we could save the money.

FA Signings

Ben Grubbs - OG
Cheaper than Nicks, and capable enough to protect Ryan.

Mario Williams - DE
With Abe gone, we need a top DE, and he is the top DE available. He is also young, and we have the money to afford him.

Marcus McNeil - OT
Good to beef the line up, along with Grubbs.

David Garrard - QB
History with Koetter, young and capable backup in case something happens to Ryan.

Paul Solai - DT
If Dolphins don't want to keep him, we will most definitely scoop him up. He will proved push up the middle to get pressure on the QB.

These aren't all the FA signings, but the most important.

Draft

2nd Round - Orson Charles TE, UGA
Will work under Tony G, and take over and become a star.

3rd Round - Brandon Boykins CB, UGA
Can replace Weems on ST, and Grimes in the secondary. Great athlete.

5th Round - Robert Turbin RB/FB/HB, Utah
Snelling's replacement. Runs hard, and had a good senior season. He can also catch, and can be used in the screen game. Very similar to Snelling.

6th Round - Landon Walker OT, Clemson
With good development, can be developed into a starter in a few years. Good for depth so far.

7th Round - Greg Childs WR, Arkansas
Big receiver to use as the #4 to replace Weems.  Can be a solid option for Ryan for the vertical passing game.

Interesting.  If you are signing McNeill and Grubbs, we'll assume Baker and Reynolds are history.  Still light at DB if Grimes, Hayden and Sanders all leave, with only a CB drafted.  If you get Mario, Grubbs and McNeill likely become too expensive, given Lofton, Douglas, McClure, Decoud and Biermann re-upping.

[dirtybirdz10984]

we dont have enough money for all those guys and more like you stated

[muskokas finest ©]

Also, I'd rather stick with Cox at minimum salary than pay $3 million for Ovie.

i would rather not have a FB like most teams and have a RB who doesnt need one to be productive and use that money else where

[Xx FaLcOhoLiC Xx]

I seriously doubt we go UGA with our first two picks.. would be nice though. I'd love to have Charles and Boykins representing us in the pros

[Hardyfalcon]

Why resign Decoud? Have you been watching any of the games last year? He was easily our worst tackler, and caught out of position way too often.

[thakrunk1]

facepalm.......

[Steel City Falcon]

DUD

[Matt_The Iceman_Ryan]

Please try again....

[falconmaniac]

BB will not be there when we pick in the 3rd.....I promise you.
In an interview today at the combine.....Houston says that they are going to keep Super Mario no matter what the cost.
Other than those two choices.....I like the rest.

Since when?

[kiwifalcon]

I'd actually keep China Doll Hayden and Sanders I think China Doll is possibly our best NB so I'd resign him for cheap.Sanders is probably a better starter than DeCoud at this point also.

I love Ovie but the way you've gone in FA I gotta have the cap space so Ovise is history resign Cox keep Snelling because for me playing with a broken jaw in that Giants game I'd resign him.

Out of your FA's I'd flag Grubbs and McNeill.I'd see what Mike Johnson and Andrew Jackson have at RG and for a LT I'd have a go at signing Anthony Collins from the Bengals I think he could be a under the radar type guy to go after and of course Mario for obvious reasons.Soliai or Franklin for me at the Nose either would be nice.

[EwokHellKite]

Resign Harry... and use him... he can be one of the best slots in the game..

[I MUS WRITE]

I dont think we will get 2 of the top OL and DL Free agents. Gerrard would be nice though. Ovie is a goner cox did a good job for a fraction of what Ovie costs. DeCoud should be on your walk list-

[Knight of God]

Wow. I love it actually. Pleasantly surprised. I still haven't gotten my head around letting Abe go, but that's me. Nothing else. Good mock. +1
