a short list of players I'd be looking at in FA next year if I were GM
RB - Michael Bush - big power back that never got to shine in Oakland. Good pass protector. Can grind out short yardage or break a big run. Would probably be good value, as he won't be getting a huge contract anywhere. With McFadden having somewhat of a breakout year, Bush wont be a priority in oakland.
I agree. We need a young power back, now. The Taylor/Morris era has been a miserable failure.
FB/RB - LeRon McClain - best FB in the league, can also play RB. Wont be staying in BMore since they have Rice and McGahee already.
I doubt the Murderers let him walk, but if they do, then I'd be first in line to sign him. But would Bill?
RB - Ahmad Bradshaw - seems like a good fit.
No thanks. Bad character, and this locker room cannot handle bad characters.
CB - Champ Bailey - He isnt the best CB in the league anymore, but he's still pretty damn good and would offer some much needed experience in our secondary.
He's no longer the best, but he's better than anybody we have.
CB - Ike Taylor - big physical CB. He'll probably re-sign with Pitts though.
Probably; but if he doesn't, then I'd be interested.
CB - Ellis Hobbs - he's better than Butler and Wilhite are right now, and he knows the system.
Bill never should've traded him in the first place.
WR - Vincent Jackson - if youre going to spend that Moss-type Money, I'd rather put it towards someone who is hungrier and younger. Hes gonna come back with a huge chip on his shoulder next year and he's great at catching the deep ball.
No thanks. He's one more incident away from a year-long suspension.
WR - Santana Moss - Obviously not on Randys level of stretching a defense, but he can go deep (unlike any of our current receivers except maybe Tate).
Maybe; but if I'm signing a FA WR, I'd rather sign one with more size than him.
that's pretty much it. The rest of our needs, I'd look for in the Draft considering we have 3 Picks that will be within the Top 36.
