So this was almost like their "last chance" to make it with their currently somewhat stacked roster? I dont know if that makes me feel better or worse.

That would be a nice pick up, wouldnt it.

No, who would he replace unless we move to a 4-3?

Not exactly sure, given the end's role in a 3-4 2-gap scheme. Trying to plug him in as a LB may be an underuse of his talents as a pass rusher.

2006 Starters:

RCB - David, Jason RFA
LG - Lilja, Ryan RFA
RG - Scott, Jake RFA
TE - Utecht, Ben RFA

RDE - Freeney, Dwight UFA
LCB - Harper, Nick UFA
WLB - June, Cato UFA
SLB - Morris, Rob UFA
RB - Rhodes, Dominic UFA

Rhodes isn't exactly a starter, but certainly a considerable weapon in their offense.

NaPolian already said on Sirius NFL Radio that if they cant get into an agreement with Freeney they will use the franchise tag on him.

That's fine, they can't pay everyone. With Harrison also aging, they're gonna wear down soon, it's just too bad we couldn't stomp on their throats this one last time.

I was thinking of him as a LB.

What veteran LBs do we have to choose from in FA this year?

<< Freeney, Dwight UFA >>

not really....
i think he would be a waste of money in our D unless we somehow play him at linebacker

Lance Briggs, London Fletcher, Cato June, Adulius Thomas, Jeff Posey, Chad Brown, Monty Beisel.

 

[DaBruinz]

You forgot Jarrett Johnson of the Ravens, who played ILB/OLB/DE for the Ravens.

 

[SeanBruschi54]

Lance Briggs, London Fletcher, Cato June, Adulius Thomas, Jeff Posey, Chad Brown, Monty Beisel.

Honestly how much will Briggs cost?

this is a serious question.

I have no idea.

Oh yeah!! There's our solution....

According to Miguel's spreadsheet, SS Mike Doss, who was hurt most of 2006, has a voidable contract.

And according to KFFL:

Good, I hope he does. That will sour in Freeney's mouth over the 1 year of the deal and then he flies the Colts for good, to say the Jaguars or Texans to harass Manning for years. I love it!

Which should just about screw them over as far as being able to sign anyone else. The Turk has entered their building!
