Shaun Smith (DT) released by the Lions...

[DelhommesTheMan]

Would be a great pickup ( compared to whats available ), as he was the projected starter for the Lions this season. I can see a team with more cap room like St.Louis who are also in need of a DT with the loss of Carriker picking him up..if he wants to play for a good team this year he will come in for a visit..

the last two years he was in cleveland he played 26 games. in those games he had 74 solo tackles, 24 assists, 2 sacks, 3 passes blocked, and 2 forced fumbles.

[frash.exe]

we need to sign the poo out of him

[rayzor]

he won't be going through waivers.

Wow, okay you sold me. As long as he's not a complete nutcase, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at him.

he's pretty much the closest we can get on the market to replace Kemo, he could even be better.

[rayzor]

i wouldn't mind a complete nutcase. i would like it. we just have to tell him that every QB he sees in a non-panthers uniform is brady quinn and every other person running the ball is the browns GM and every offensive lineman in front of him is mangini.

easy. he's like the waterboy.

and keep Leonard and Lewis.

that plus our DE depth, yea, let's get a little bit of that old pressuring front four we used to have back.

[Blitz]

If you told me this guy would have been availible to pick up as soon as Kemo went down I would have never fretted about our dline situation. If he is signed he would immediately become our best dlinemen. Hes a player. Get him on a decent team and I would expect his attitude to change.

Was this a recent cut? Wonder if we went down to 51 while trying to get him? Hummmmmmm. Ok i know better dont get your hopes up with this front office.

[Lakejamescat]

Id rather sign Darby ahead of this guy. He is a nine year vet and was a solid player with the Bucs....

[WolfPack]

OK, I checked out his stats, not the greatest in the world, but he does have the size we need inside right now. Plus, if he were to come to Carolina and be a good fit, he is still young enough (28) to keep around a while and develop into our system, which should not be hard at this point.

[Lakejamescat]

Was Meeks with the Bucs when Darby was there?
