....we all need to drop interest immediately. the housh would make our passing attack pretty lethal. jacobs would give us the perfect compliment to slaton. anybody worth his salt in the front 7 especially LB is an upgrade.

I'm not saying it's not fixable....I don't even think they are anywhere near as bad as most people seem to think they are. Just using the names you mentioned...What good would Housh do if the QB can't get the ball to him, whether it's the QB's or the line's fault. Our passing attack was pretty dang good last year, and with everyone returning it should be even better this year. Would he be nice to have, Hell yes, but that's not going to fix the underlying problem.

If we could sign 3 or 4 of these guys it would most likely help a great deal. I don't think we have the cap room for that (I would bet most teams don't either). We have some guys most of us would probably like to see being kept around who will need new contracts soon. Even if we could afford it now we would be paying for it down the road...potentially with dead money on the cap.

From Roy's list I would be absolutely estatic about Roy W. or TJ, Pope, Gross...actually any of them except Ricky Williams. I also know that most of these potential free agents that people get excited about this time of year rarely ever hit the open market. The few that do usually have a short list (contenders) of teams they will play for, or are going for a HUGE contract.
