5 to 1 Forte will be a PAT.

With respect to Lorig, I get what your saying Fin, but how they figured his game would translate from the Bucs offense to our offense is where I'd have questions and what the team's thoughts were...

True, but at least on paper he was an upgrade over Jeb.

Yep, and Tampa fans weren't happy about losing him. He just didn't work out here.

Like you said, on paper, it looked like a really good move. He had Dave Thomas upside.

The Miami Herald believes the Dolphins should release Jordan Cameron.

Cameron is due a non-guaranteed $7.5 million. Releasing him could be the only option if he doesn’t accept a pay cut. Cameron had just a 35/386/3 line his first season in Miami

For the Browns to let him walk despite his popularity with a hostile fan-base; and now possibly being released by Miami - that just creates more questions than answers...

...especially with limited cap space...

Okay, if we could swing two of the top three in this list and add #4 or #5, we'd be set going into the draft and poised for more of an impact on defense......

(1) NT Damon Harrison (NYJ)

(2) DE Malick Jackson (DEN)

(3) LB Danny Trevathan (DEN)

(4) RG J.R. Sweezy (SEA)*

(5) TE Ben Watson (NO)

The major hurdle to signing those Denver players is that Chicago has their former head coach and over $50 million in cap space. Plus, Chicago has lots of needs on defense. I don't know if they liked playing for John Fox but it seems like an obvious destination if Denver can't retain them.

(1) NT Damon Harrison (NYJ)

Can the Jets really keep Damon Harrison?

(2) DE Malick Jackson (DEN)

(3) LB Danny Trevathan (DEN)

(4) RG J.R. Sweezy (SEA)*

(5) TE Ben Watson (NO)

Immediate upgrade. Not sure what dollars he will command but you win with NT's like this guy in the trenches.
