2010 Free Agents ours to lose and who might help
 

Our guys to lose:
QB Rex Grossman, (29)
WR Kevin Walter, (28)
TE Owen Daniels, (26)
OG Mike Brisiel, (26)
OG Chester Pitts, (30)
LB DeMeco Ryans, (25)
CB Dunta Robinson, (27)

Guys to watch that would helps us

RB LenDale White, Tennessee Titans (24) goal line short yardage guy, what is it we lack?
RB Kolby Smith, Kansas City Chiefs (24) – Restricted FA
DT Richard Seymour, Oakland Raiders (29)
DT Casey Hampton, Pittsburgh Steelers (31)
LB Derrick Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs (26)
LB D’Qwell Jackson, Cleveland Browns (25)
CB Stanford Routt, Oakland Raiders (26)
FS Antoine Bethea, Indianapolis Colts (25)
S Jarrad Page, Kansas City Chiefs (25)
P Daniel Sepulveda, Pittsburgh Steelers (25) – Restricted FA


Now I am not suggesting we sign any of these guys, but simple placing a watch them this off season and see who is tendered and who is let go.

Let Grossman and Dunta go if he doesn't turn it around soon.

Spend all our picks on OL and secondary.

Way too soon to be looking at FA for the upcoming offseason because of the shaky and uncertain position of Kubiaks future here beyond the 2009 season ?
If the Texans crater in the next few weeks McNair might bring in a new HC coach who runs a 3-4 instead of the 4-3, drops zone blocking, etc. who knows ?

While I agree that it is a little early for this, I can't help but ask why Pollard is not on your list? IMO, that guy has been a HUGE plus for our defensive transformation.

I think keeping him around, in a 3 year deal range is something that Smithiak, or insert another couple of names, should be looking at for next year.

Pollard was not on the list I was using to get these names. But I thnk you are correct he is a one year guy, so he should be on this list.

Our guys to lose:
QB Rex Grossman, (29) Keep
WR Kevin Walter, (28) Keep
TE Owen Daniels, (26) Keep
G Mike Brisiel, (26)
OG Chester Pitts, (30)
LB DeMeco Ryans, (25) Franchise
CB Dunta Robinson, (27) let walk
DB Bernard Pollard, (25) Keep

Guys we should try to sign:
LenDale White, Tennessee Titans (24)

looks like we will have quite a few UFA and RFA, this article also explains likely impact of no CBA and poential uncappped year.
