I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right, but isn't "super" mario the same guy that D'Brick beat like a stepchild all senior bowl week? Seems to me we would be happier with the LT that owned Mario rather than Mario.

Hmmm I think you are thinking about Mathias Kiwanuka from B.C. Mario Williams is an underclassman so he wasn't at the Senior Bowl, if I'm not mistaken

Sure he's not the best LB out there, but he's the 7th best LB in FA, and he comes at a pretty reasonable price from what I understand.

Also, Brooks plays QB which demands A LOT more money than the LB position. You can't compare their salaries.

Also, Arrington has NO interest in playing here. He wants to go to the Giants, Dolphins, Browns, or Vikings (probably in that order).

O.K., Arrington will be expensive. Why not Julian Peterson or Cato June? The answer is because Fujita is cheap!

I like the Fujita pickup, like others have said its an improvement over Hodge. A solid starter. No thanks on Lavar Arrington, and Im not very familiar with Cato June. I'm in the Charles Grant Lovers club though, I think he's going to have a monster year. What DT are left in the FA pool? Wonder why he havent seen any activity there?

It's a step in the right direction, so I like this signing.

On another note... SOMEBODY SIGNED HODGE?!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The other answer is that Fujita played with almost all of our defensive coaches at some point or another. He canhelp the other players get in step with the new defense that will be going in. Come on Fujita had an off year b/c he did not play all 16 games last year b/c Dallas was deep in the LB position, look at his production other than last year. Last year he started 8 games, the other years he started almost all of them and registered over 100 tackles.

I think Lavar is over-hyped and not who I would like to see in NO, peterson or june yes, arrington; no.
