Hell yes, I hope we grab him. Looks like it's between us and the Bears for a player like always.

Makes perfect sense for us as a vet guy to add to the rotation that can help the younger guys learn the system.

I would think he's prefer to come here since one of our DE positions is open for competition, but it will probably come down to the $.

if it helps i'm all for it.

[Panthro]

Can he play RG or CB?

I thought hardy pretty much solidified that when he came back. :confused:

The Alex Brown of old is not only better than Hardy, but better than Charles Johnson. I haven't followed him since he left the Bears, but he used to be a beast. Granted, it's extremely unlikely he'll play anywhere close to what he was as a Bear, but he'd be a great addition to the line regardless. And maybe it will let us get rid of Everette Brown, who knows.

[Kurb]

Looking way ahead, a deal like Ron Edwards would be great for him and us.

CJ/Hardy/Brown/Norwood

Draft pick/McLain/Fua/Edwards

That looks much better than what 2011 has.

Would immediately improve our run D and keep Hardy fresh for pass D.

We let Brayton go to develop the young DEs. Hopefully Hurney realizes that well, they're not (developing). +++ Don't need midget DEs, that minority is well represented by our CBs already.

[Jase]

I would hope that's what we're talking to him about, not the weather, the birds and the bees, etc.

[TylerDurden]

I want AB, but I still want Hardy to be the starter and see what he does with a full-year of playing time - he's gonna be a beast.

That being said, if AB came in as the 3rd guy, we'd be sick... Some people forget about guys like Al Wallace... The 3rd guy can make a huge difference, especially with the ability that AB has.

[SCP]

Well, if we sign him that is some help.

Still need a DT, an actual pro RG, and a CB that can cover something.

[Double34Trouble28]

He should be in Charlotte by now. We don't mind throwing money at everyone else, hell, let's do this.

[TylerVagyler]

I'd be ok with this. I wonder how much longer Brown has in him though?

2 years prob, of being worth a cuss. But I'm guessing.
