As Day 6 of free agency draws to an end,

WR Lloyd
WR Gonzalez
WR Stallworth
TE Fells
OL Connolly
OL Gallery

We still need a free agent running back.

We still need to sign Welker to a long-term deal.

You know, MG, you could have a point there, buddy....a good one. But PLEASE BB get me back some of those missing sacks, will ya'.

I'm not sure we need a FA back unless you'd count BJGE as that guy. With him, Woodhead, Ridley, Vereen and maybe Faulk it looks pretty crowded already. IMO I don't think BJGE is going anywhere else. It would be nice to fill in some secondary holes before the draft.

The Bengals want Ellis if the Pats don't find the need to keep him.

They should resign BJGE.

We need to sign a free agent running back: Green-Ellis or someone else.

Benjarvus Green-Ellis is drawing interest from New York Jets: source

Looks like the Jet's are trying to make a play .

Remember if one of our young RB's step up we will be saying Green-Ellis who? RB's make some of the quickest transitions to the NFL. If Ridley or Vereen wins the job they would validate their selections.

Let's be real. We have 3 running backs. Last year, we had 5. We will carry 4 or 5. I would much rather add a veteran than add yet another youngster.

How many reps our free agent signing will have this year is another matter entirely. He could end up being inactive.

For lots of reasons, we need a veteran running back.
