Who's not back next year?

[The Gr8est]

Hmmm... Dillon went for a 4.4 average today when we started yet another O-line with Ashworth getting a start. Starks played injured when others couldn't/wouldn't; Stone has passed Izzo in ST tackles in less than half a season; Adam is still Mr. Reliable; Neal is a future probowl guard; Givens and Neal are the only FA starters unsigned, and you don't think they will sign either one?

You certainly have a kinds of warped view.

I agree that Troy is probably done but not if Givens leaves. Klecko is skating on very thin ice. Chad Brown can probably stay as a spot OLB to allow Willie a rest evry once in a while. Izzo and Davis are in trouble if you ask me.. Fauria's contract is up and so is he.

Klecko is not skating on thin ice. There is no ice, and he has no skates...he is dog paddling until the lifeguard gets there.

There is no need for him to even come to training camp...a complete waste of a roster spot.

Givens is gone, just like Patten

Vinaterri, will be back, if not there is something wrong...

Agreed. Klecko is gone.

Klecko may make it back if we don't draft or sign a backup NT for Vince. Though he is small he is basically all we got. Mike Wright and Santonio Thomas?

I actually think Holmes could be capable. I read his draft report and it wasn't half bad. Wright is gone likely.

Forgot say goodbye to Bethal Johnson....

Isn't Givens an RFA?

 

[SoonerPatriot]

Yeah, if he is done, and he really may be hurt more than we know, they could decline the option, suck up the one year and not have a bonus to spread out over the later years. One more expensive year then whack him. But hopefully he really was hurt and will be better next year.

The fact that he was hurt all year is the very essence of the problem with backs over 30. They begin to break down and break down frequently. It's the way it goes. Considering that, I don't think it would be wise to enter 2006 with Dillon as the No.1 option at RB. Clearly Faulk is not the answer either.

Sadly, I think Troy Brown.

Klecko, Givens, Starks, C. Brown, Bethel Johnson.

Isn't Givens an RFA?

No, Givens will be an UFA. He will be one of the two best available wideouts.
