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.
