Wonder if  we start getting more reliable vets at bargains trying to get a ring

I think this is exactly what will happen. Players will be telling their agents to find a way to get them here. We've already seen this happen some, but it will be more prevalent after going to superbowl and the general consensus is that we will be back soon.

Heard speculation a few weeks ago that Minnesota might cut Mike Wallace loose. I think we could use a 2nd vertical threat to complement Ginn, which would complement our physical first down guys like Olsen and Funchess, to go along with our no.1 in Benjamin.

I'd love it but he would have to be willing to come in at a bargain for Gettleman to go after a big name WR. Travis Benjamin is a more likely option but even he will probably be able to get way more than Gettleman is willing to pay him. This year's WR FA class is so terrible that mid-level guys are going to be getting $7-8M. It's a bad year to need a WR so the likelihood of being able to bring a solid one in as a luxury is very low. I agree we need an eventual Ginn replacement to stretch the field but that will probably have to wait unless one falls to us in the mid to late rounds of the draft and we have Ginn for one more year anyway.

And Mike Wallace can actually catch. Would be a great pickup.

You know what, the last few years (overall) I've preferred the market that comes form cuts than free agency. Outside a couple of cream type players, the pool is awful.

Good smart teams just don't let good young talent leave these days. Which leads to this- you must ask yourself " why is this guy a free agent"..... Its like a mystery.

Plus cuts don't count against the comp pick formula and after being cut those players seem to feel a need to prove the former team wrong.

I have a friend who is a Chargers fan, and he cant say enough good things a but Waddle. Safety might not be our #1 need, but man, he is a perfect fit for this defense.

I think we still have a few Quinton Coples fans on here.  Just saw he was released by the Dolphins along with corner Brice McCain.

What ever happened to NT Phil Taylor?  Former 1st rounder by the Browns?

I believe he's still out there.

I think a couple of teams worked him out but in the end nobody wanted him.

Get the feeling he's done, but ya never know.

You all realize Mario Williams is a 14 sack guy in a base 4-3 system like ours right? He was moved around too much in Buffalo and hated the scheme... He made that clear vocally time and time again this past season.

That type of player isn't 'old' or 'washed-up' he's a premiere talent that was miss used last season. The guy had 38 sacks in his first 3 seasons with the Bills. Getting Mario here is in my head priority number 2 only behind tagging Norman.

That's too bad, maybe he's overweight or not fully healthy.

Honestly, on the DT front, the first guy I really want to see us sign is Kyle Love.
