What's The Rush?

I looked over the Scouts.com database at Yahoo. Among the top 21 UFA's 13 have been signed. The remaining 8 consists of 5 that are not really target needs (CB, WR, DE). There are 3 LB's left- Trotter, Hartwell, and Bell. We have no rumor of any interest in them and no free agent visits are scheduled. But there may be interest in Ronald McKinnon which I can find no one else interested in. So no rush. If he doesn't work out I see linebackers Zeke Moreno, Vinny Ciurciu, Paris Lenon, Artie Ulmer, and Saleem Rasheed on the list. Any of those would work well with TE of interest from Seattle, Itula Mili. I reviewed last year's signings and we might not see that good again but maybe close:
March 4- Stecker, 4yr/$4mil
March 7- Young, 4yr/$10mil
March 16- Sam Gash 1yr/$780K
March 26- Nesbit
April 8- Craft in trade for 5th Rd pick
Ironic to me is that still on the need list is a DT, DB, etc. and the only verified free agent to visit will be another guard.
Probably better not to sign any high profile players anyway. They may not work out.
Remember no plan is better than a bad plan.
Don't worry be happy.
