Winfield is probably the best tackling CB out there and I've loved watching him play for the Vikes all of these past years, but he has seen his lot of injuries during the past couple of seasons and he hasn't been able to bounce back from them as fast as he once did.

Still, at a bargain rate he would definitely bring a much needed attitude to the secondary with his superior tackling skills and determination.

We need to sign younger, upcoming cornerbacks and not retreads...

Granted, he was amazing the past few years, but I doubt he's got anything left in the tank...

I'd rather sign more natural safeties and move Jenkins to cornerback opposite Greer...

if he can SOLIDLY tackle, he surely won't be signed. our defense is built purely on the "dive at the shoelaces and hope" ... c'mon man, whatcha thinkin' there?

sad but so freaking true

Not sure how good he is,but is he worth trading for?
Low cost,if he plays well get him a long term deal,if not he leaves and we go after a top LT in next years draft.



Report: Saffold “likely” to ask for trade if Rams sign Jake Long

If the Rams sign tackle Jake Long on Wednesday, it will take one left tackle off the market.

It might also lead to another one coming back onto the market. Bob Glauber of Newsday reports that current Rams left tackle Rodger Saffold would “likely” ask for a trade if the Rams and Long come to an agreement.

Saffold’s rationale is easy to understand. He’s set to become a free agent after next season and left tackles are generally paid more handsomely than their offensive line brethren. Whether Saffold was moved to right tackle or guard, something that was bandied about last season, he’d lose a potential chance to cash in as a free agent.

But there’s a reason why the Rams are in the market for Long’s services and it isn’t that Saffold was so great at left tackle that the Rams couldn’t pass on a chance to see how he played other positions. Without other moves, it would also be hard to see them deciding to trade Saffold without an overwhelmingly tempting return.

He’s making $880,000 in 2013 and the Rams would be a better overall line with Long at left tackle and Saffold at another post on the line. Saffold could make things difficult, but he has very little leverage to force a trade.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

I wonder if Ryan will want him?

Cowboys to part ways with Marcus Spears

One of the strange parts of this offseason has been watching the Cowboys and Redskins watch from the sidelines, because of the salary cap penalties the league dropped on them.

Now, the Cowboys have dropped one of their own for a little room.

According to Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com, the Cowboys have decided to release defensive end Marcus Spears.

The former first-rounder will be designated a post-June 1 cut, allowing them to spread the cap hit out. He clears around $2 million in room this year, though they don’t get credit for it until the summer. Realistically, that’s part of the cap room they’ll need to sign draft picks.

Spears was also vaguely extraneous with the Cowboys move to a 4-3, as he’s a natural defensive end in a 3-4.

Hmmm... interesting.

He's a big boy (6-4, 315), still has some years left in the tank being "only" 30, and he's a graduate of LSU and he went to HS in Baton Rouge.

I wonder if he'd be willing to sign with the Saints for a discount?!

It's being said the cowpies are making a play at Urlacher. He won't come cheap. We may see a couple more of Jerry's kids become available in the near future as well.

I like Brian but he is getting a bit long in the tooth. i would rather a major youth movement with a few well priced vets sprinkled into the mix.

Titans sign DT Sammie Lee Hill (3 years, $11.4M; $4M guaranteed)

actual not as bad as i thought a bit less money than Jr and IMO less of a gamble

Buccaneers sign S Dashon Goldson (5 years, $41.25M; $22M guaranteed)

that just insane then again good luck collecting that 5th year

Chargers sign CB Derek Cox (4 years, $20M; $10.25M guaranteed)

Not bad a bit high IMO but not bad. at least we have a ball park set for CB
