How is resigning a crappy CB at all "money in the bank"?

Yeah. That makes a WHOLE lot of sense. So they're going to bench Neal, who they just resigned to a long-term deal?

You cannot be serious.

I like Polk from SD and Shanle from NO as relatively cheap options at ILB.

My darkhorse is Patrick Chukwurah from Denver. He is 6.1 255 with good speed. He came up as a 4-3 OLB with Minnesota (I believe), but played as a nickel rush DE for the Broncos. Watching him play, he looked like he would excel as a 3-4 OLB. He would be cheap - any offer of a three year deal would land him. We'd want it to be a three year deal if we saw it as a project. I think he'd surprise.

Nate Clement will most definitely remain a Bill, but from what I'm hearing up here, London Fletcher is gone.

What you mean that you dont think resigning Poteat would be a guranteed signing if the Jets dont re-up him? It makes more than enough sense to a lot of other people.

I'd just like to announce Miguel is my hero.

1) NEM is serious. He would indeed bench Neal and move our future all-pro LG Mankins to a position that he has never played (RG), and probably isn't any good at, and start Light at LG. This would downgrade the patriots at LG and RG in order to give us an improvement at LT. I don't think the net would be positive, and I certainly don't think the value is there.

2) I agree with NEM that Davis is a major talent and would be a major upgrade at LT. Light might even get beaten out by Kaycur, which I would be fine with. Kaycur was a good LT in 2005, as a rookie.

3) There is no way it make sense for us to bid what it would take to add Davis. BTW, if this happened, Light would be competing for RT with Kaycur and O'Callahan and Kaycur would also be competing with Neal fro the RG position.

4) We do not need an OL until 2010. We might sign late pick or UDFA for the practice squad as we have often done. As of now, we have no need in the OL. They do need more experience. BTW, all ten have been effective starting for the patriots, except Mruc, who won't make the 2007 absent injuries, same as 2006.

OT: Light, Kaycur, O'Callaghan, Britt
OG: Mankins, Neal, Hochstein, Yates
C : Koppen, Mruczkowski

5) We will focus on cap money and our draft picks on upgrading the team.
I can understand NEM believing this means OL, since he has manlove for Davis, and since he doesn't think we need upgrades at WR.

just my 2 cents

From Jeremy Greens chat last Friday on espn.com:

"Gina (AZ): Should the Cardinals resign Leonard Davis?

Jeremy Green: No. He is lazy. This new regime needs to clear out players like Leonard Davis. Players like Leonard Davis epitomize the problem with that franchise. "

I noticed some differences between the Red Zone list and the Miguel list.

For example, Miguel has Donnie Edwards, ILB, Chargers as a free agent, while the Red Zone does not. NFLPA.org shows his contract expiring in 2006. So I assume Miguel's is more accurate.
