YesThe more I think about it, the more I want to bring this kid in so we can "kick his tires".
This is the kid from Texas, right?

Id much rather have Sean Jones from Cleveland. I think he would be perfect next to Merriweather in the secondary. And I think he would cost less then Huff. And if Huff gets released maybe it pushes Jones a step further down the free agent list of safeties which seems to be deep this year. And thats one less position we need to worry about in the draft, at least in the first few rounds.
DW toys nice info on Huff.. I like others think it wouldn't hurt to kick the tires and see what BB could do with him..
But I want to throw out another name out there for everyone.. Roy L. Williams.. Rumor has it he's getting cut..
In his 1st three years of the league he averaged around 90 tackles, 9 Pass Defends and a couple of INt's.. The past couple of years with coaching changes and philosphies, he's bulked up and see his production go down..
He hits like Harrison and he'll be 29 when the season starts..
He's terrible in coverage, though, and people here already act as if every 2 yard pass completed by the opponent was really a 100 yard touchdown pass.
I recall a few times see Eagle Wr's run by him for Td's.. But he was a talent and played at a high level for a few years.. He had a fair amt of pass defenses..
But in a way I'm glad to see people posting here that we need a serious upgrade over Sanders.. I've been preaching for a while he's a JAG at best.. Good tackler but nothing more..
Our Defense has really gone down hill due to our safety play or lack of it. With Harrison being injuried the past few years and Eugene Wilson career and talent going down the toilet, we were exposed so many times down the middle and over the top.
He did not start but a few games and played in a very dysfunctional team under two head coaches in 2008. This kid was a good player in 2007 when he was a SS for much of the season. Then they switched him to FS. You can see his game went down. He is 207 LBS. Can't tackle? What? He had 85 tackles in 2007. Our starting safety Mr. Sanders had 64 tackles. In 2006 Huff had 64 tackles as a rookie.
Can't cover? What ? He had 11 PDefs in 2007 and an INT. Our staring saftey Mr. Sanders had 5 PDefs.
He has been bounced around by that team like a ping pong ball from CB to SS to FS. He is only 25 years old.
To all of you "no thanks" dudes. Thanks for your input and opinions. I believe he is an upgrade and might work well with Merriweather.
I don't have the same disdain for Sanders that you and Toys do. I think he's a starter in the NFL, and I think he was put in a position where failure was guaranteed last season. However, I am by no means opposed to an upgrade at safety.

"Huff has been a disaster since being selected No. 7 overall in 2006. Not only has he tackled poorly, he's also been consistently beaten in coverage for the past two seasons."
YES YES YES.. Sean Jones should be seriously considered by the Pats.. Georgia product that has the nack of getting to the ball and the versatility to play towards the line..
Browns and Pats play very similar defenses.. This is almost a no-brainer!
Michael Huff was the top DB out of college and he is a hidden gem.
The Raiders messed him up and didn't know how to use him.
This isn't the first time the Raiders have completely messed up a talented player, who went on to great things after they left
He would be signed only to be cut
