What should we do in FA

We need to get us a big ol' mean DT.

i like wright from TX... he was one of the better run stoppers... williams from LSU is one of them high motor guys but even me being n lsu fan thought he was a lil overrated... i think he made most of his plays b/c most teams were keying in on wroten.. the other DT from LSU who is more of a pass rushing threat... but all are good young DTs...

This could be exactly what the Saints need on the front four then. With Will Smith definitely making his presence known, and Charles Grant's ability to rush the passer. More O'lines will be concentrating on them, which could free up the DT's. Williams could definitely take advantage of that. I'm all for drafting him. His stock is soaring right now.

Is Archuleta from St. Louis going to be a free agent? I think I heard that he was.
If so, get him.

I think we trade AB for Collins and a 3rd rounder this year. I think at that point we need to pick up a stud DT and that's if we get Hawk and a couple of extra picks out of the draft.

How about Brian Griese? I konw he isn't the greatest qb in the world but if the saints are looking for a game manager at qb, why not griese. He has playoff experience and did a solid job with the bucs this season....A wr who can catch the ball wouldn't hurt either.

I think that the Bucs will keep Griese. Word has it that the Jets are interested in Simms so they won't let him go just in case.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the New York Jets might have interest in Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Chris Simms, who could become a restricted free agent after the 2005 season.

I actually think the Bucs match any offer given to Simms and unload Griese. Then again it depends on what they do with the other two QB's in Rattay and McCown.......both LA Tech alum, might I add? WOOT!

Simple OG, C, WR, DT, LB, CB,
OG very possible one that is not a zone blocker
C and move bentley back to G
WR that can catch forget speed and go for guts
DT, LB we all know that
CB doubtful they cost to much
