First, not sure we have cap room and we have similar, younger players now...

Second, he's twenty-nine years old and his name isn't Darrell Green...

With the definite needs of identifying a right tackle and signing a center, it's be tough K...

Agreed and from what I have been reading, he is looking for a substantial payday but I do like his game.

Darren Sproles' likely release leaves Jimmy Graham 'shocked and disappointed' | Audibles - SI.com

"Even considering those factors plus Sproles’ nonexistence in the run game, the Saints’ decision comes as a bit of a surprise. His fate may have been tied to that of Thomas, who now may be too irreplaceable to lose, despite the cap savings of nearly $3 million he could bring. Thomas was a reliable receiver out of the backfield last season and led the Saints in rushing — that dual-threat ability might have been what propelled him ahead of the one-dimensional Sproles on the pecking order."

The DeMarcus Ware Watch Continues...

I believe DWare playing days are numbered here in Deathstar nation...

Up in age and injuries, but still better than most at his position.

It all depends on Victor Butler and how he's mending; but it's be interesting to see how Ryan reacts with Spencer, possibly Ware, hitting the market...

Jets still trying to keep Austin Howard off open market | ProFootballTalk

This would be an upgrade to what we have; and we'd really be able to run the ball...

He's not better than Strief, but I would gladly take Howard.
