For those who wanted Michael Bennett, we have found out why there was no market for him. Here is a tweet from Adam Schefter:

Seahaws DE Michael Bennett, who left Tampa for Seattle, was diagnosed with torn rotator cuff. Injury why Bennett got a 1-yr deal in SEA.

DHB is meeting with Indy today.
Really would of liked him as a deep threat and with a great qb maybe more looks like we will find out what he is capable of because he will have that with Luck.
I would of loved to bring him in who knows maybe the Patriots are waiting in the weeds.

No sure why everyone is so high on this guy...i don't want mr stone hands

 

[Kontradiction]

With the way everyone ripped Welker for dropping a couple of passes, could you imagine the way they would rip DHB if he were to come here?

 

[Love The Drake]

Nobody is going to confuse DHB with Fitzgerald or Nicks hands.
Speed Speed Speed and height are his 2 attributes this guy has tremendous straight line speed and is a true deep threat and that's what his Job would of been.
It would be like getting a Mike Wallace threat at a budget price.
In my opinion he will have a great year if he goes to Indy.
Is rather sign my deep threat as a budget free agent only to draft a guy that never works out.

 

[BelichickFan]

I guess Tommy Kelly is getting released tomorrow. I thought he had been released already; needless to say I could see him drawing some interest from us.

 

[Rusty Coupe]

Not sure what this does to their interest in Mallett.

Per multiple reports, Jason Campbell has signed a two-year deal with the Browns.

He joins a depth chart that currently includes Brandon Weeden, Colt McCoy, and Thaddeus Lewis.

He'd immediately be my top target. He dogged it last year, but he's a beast when he's motivated.

The Browns just don't learn do they?

 

[Rusty Coupe]

Can't see a whole lot of upside with Campbell.

 

[BelichickFan]

He'd immediately be my top target. He dogged it last year, but he's a beast when he's motivated.

Give me him for the inside and Abraham for the outside, thank you very much. We'd be older - but better.

 

[JMC00]

Abraham might have just lost his chance to play here.

 

[Marqui]

Abraham might have just lost his chance to play here.

Nah, if Belichick is smart, he'd grab them both and have one of the best DLs in football.

 

[JackBauer]

Give me him for the inside and Abraham for the outside, thank you very much. We'd be older - but better.

I'm still intrigued by Vaughn Martin's potential at DT, but I would take either Martin/Abraham or Kelly/Abraham (assuming Kelly is still decent as you all say; I don't get paid to watch Raiders games so I haven't seen any in many fortnights).

 

[ausbacker]

I'm still intrigued by Vaughn Martin's potential at DT, but I would take either Martin/Abraham or Kelly/Abraham (assuming Kelly is still decent as you all say; I don't get paid to watch Raiders games so I haven't seen any in many fortnights).

Assuming Kelly doesn't price himself out of the market, he would fill a big need on the DL and potentially make it easier for the Patriots come draft time to address other needs first.

Strangely, I love this time in Free Agency. There's always those value additions to help a team out.

 

[slash83]

M Huff a Raven.

 

[Froob]

Hasn't BB spoken highly of Kelly? I know he speaks highly of almost everyone but I think they asked him about that huge contract Al gave him a few years back everyone though was crazy and sounded like BB liked him. Could be a nice pickup.

 

[BadMoFo]

M Huff a Raven.

He should do well there.
