lest we forget...

LB Brad Kassell
77 tckl 1 int. (21 yd. TD) 3 PD 1FF 3FR

26 years of age

I'd take him or Schulters. But BB/SP look at other things we mere mortals can touch with our nfl.com stats.

I second the Kassel idea. He's got good size, smarts?, and playmaking ability. Then again, one starts to think, "Wouldn't BB have gone after these guys by now?" I mean, it's not like Kassel was going to cost a lot less LAST week, ya know?

Patsox, I sort of hold out hope on that count, even though I read that the Pats have "passed up" several players, Kassel included.

The reason I would "never say never" is my "Days on Market" theory. After the draft, after 6/1, after a bunch of meaningful and semimeaningful dates have passed, your typical Pats target (not a feted superstar to begin with,) is perceiving low demand for his services. Just like a guy with a house on the market 120 days, who finally gets a bid 10K UNDER his asking price.

I'm banking on this Rodney Dangerfield Effect, or RDE, to be a significant part of the Pats' approach, as it applies to Kassel. Who knows.

Good thoughts, VA. Hope you're right. I'm all for waiting out FA's while their value plummets, but at some point it shows a lack of passion for the player. Hopefully it's more reflective of the organizations' opinion of TBC, Claridge and the upcoming LB draft class.

Some potentiall and maybe Law and Arrington, but Arrington is damaged goods and Law looked a little thick around the middle last yearm but I don't see any of these as gems.

Semi-precious stones perhaps, gems might be a bit of a stretch. At least one of them is right down in the costume jewelry department.

No they fall under the "overpaid egotistical jerks" category.
