Re: NFL Draft talk
FA starts tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
FA starts tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
Clintos said:We need a linebacker. Shawn Merriman is a RFA, but apparently he is wanted badly. Banta-Cain will no doubt return after a 10.5 sack season, and Mayo will really need to improve on last season.
I just read that we may throw an offer towards Julius Peppers. Hope we do TBH. One of the best pass rushers in the game IMO, and he made it no secret that he wants to play in a 3-4 defense. I do hope they just give Wilfork the franchise tag like he is asking though.
Knowing Belichick we will no doubt go after a couple of veterans at RB an WR. Chester Taylor, Chris Chambers and Derrick Mason have been mentioned. Spaeth from Pittsburgh is apparently also being targeted, but I always saw him as more of a blocker than the receiver.
I personally would like to see us go after Ryan Clark, the safety from Pittsburgh. He's pretty aggressive, and we've been missing something like that since Rodney Harrison retired. I like Malcolm Floyd from San Diego too. I think he could slot in next to Moss and make some big plays. He's a RFA, but he could fall through the cracks at the Chargers focus on Jackson. A quality linebacker should be our highest priority though.
Brett Favre said Thursday he still hasn't decided whether he'll play again next season -- and doesn't expect to make an announcement anytime soon.

lol. Good luck with Julius Peppers. He's one of the most naturally gifted players ever, but he's lazy as ****. If he doesn't want to play, he won't. Enjoy paying $18 mil a year for THAT.
