Dansby is all I ask for. Maybe a DE...

Dansby is all I ask for. Maybe a DE...

I hear you...I know we are going to have to pay a boatload on Ben...but this may be the year to cut our losses on dead weight and try and scrape up the money for a couple of free agents.

As I said in another post...If we can get Dansby...Travell Wharton at Tackle...and Justine Gage at WR...(or a combo of any of those two)..I will be doing back flips.

jared allan is very good.. if we could get him that would be very nice...

[CantStop85]

Dansby, Allen, and Haynesworth are all very appealing...unfortunately Haynesworth and Allen both have considerable character questions.

:tt02: Albert Haynesworth and Paul Spicer are the only ones on those list that really intrigue me. Haynesworth would be awesome at DT teaming with Hampton in our new 4-3 look or maybe he could be our DE across from Aaron Smith. Spicer would be a nice fit across from Smith as well.

terrelll suggs! a stud in a 3-4(although we have enough) and an even more of a stud in a 4-3

[Dynasty]

good god their are some good DL free agents this year.

dream situation, but if we could somehow sign dansby and briggs... man our defense would be FEARSOME!!

seriously. i would be afraid to play the steelers with that defense.

We could shift Harrison inside and end up with this D

Woodley - Farrior - Harrison - Briggs
.........Allen - Hampton - Smith

that would be crazy. too bad we probably don't have the cash for it.
we have 25 m. left on salary cap.
we need a pretty good amount to resign ben, and sign our picks
but if we cut M. Smith, Keisel, Wilson, and mahan, we have an extra 16 million left, giving us over 4 million. if by chance hines restructured, that would give us an extra million or to... so if we wanted to we could sign a ton of FAs.
