After I read Mayberry was gonna be the RT, I didn\'t think we were gonna get him anyway.

I think both of our moves in FA so far have been great, but, we still need help on the O line and at LB. I think we should go after experience for the OLine and draft a young LB.
I think that if there is someone like Matt Jones available in the second round or later, we will probably go after him.....not saying I agree, just that we probably will.

That\'s nothing more than specuation from the writer. That\'s what he thinks, but we all know how that goes...

Surely we could have afforded that... C\'mon FO don\'t be too proud of yourselves... be greedy...

Especially when you consider the 4th and 5th years are never going to happen, not without a cut or restructure.

His cap hit would\'ve only been 2.2 million this year. And with the (likely) cuts of Cie Grant, Sedric Hodge, T-Buck, Thomas, Riley, possibly Gleason, and Pathon, yeah, we could\'ve afforded that.

Damn.

Pork chop has to be cheaper than that. Pork Chop!!! Pork Chop!!!

I still say we should pursue Womack. Does anyone one know if Stockar McDougle is available or have information on him?

I\'m pretty bummed about not getting Miller.

And let\'s not forget Boo, possibly Conwell, possibly Craft, probably Ambrose, possibly Howard, and lord knows which backups... man, we could\'ve easily afforded Miller. 2.2 mil is -not- a huge cap hit.

Why am I not surprised :popcorn:
