Free Agency wrap-up

that Kirschke was planning to retire. Of that list the one I’d most like to see stay on is Deshea, mainly because he’s a class act and a good influence. I don’t know whether they think they can afford him (either in terms of salary or roster space) though. He also had one of the secondary’s few interceptions, once Troy was out, although it could be viewed as too little too late. I hate to see Holmes’ talent on another team, but they are welcome to his attitude..

Thanks for the wrap-up.

could be kept as a backup. Kirschke also. Carter and Stapleton can offer their services elsewhere. We should have signed a veteran, starting CB this year but we didn’t so unless we get lucky in the draft or one of our second years steps up, it is going to be a long season against the likes of Brady, Sanchez, Manning, Flacco etc…

The way the team looks from what we signed I expect a DB NT and OL to be our early grabs. I know we go BPA, but those are strengths of this draft and likely the BPA will be one of those three, I think the signings and non-signings have set us up well to take advantage of this draft’s strengths.

To not draft a NT or DB this year (or even 2 DB and a NT) would be stupid. It’s a great class for those positions and we need to take advantage.

I’d love us to trade up and get another 2nd round pick. There is so much talent in the first two rounds this year. I’m actually jealous of the Pats draft picks, they are going to get some serious defensive talent this year.

As for the FA’s I could see Kirschke resigning if they aren’t sold on Sonny Harris, and Townsend if they don’t get a DB and the soph’s don’t look good. I’m hoping to see Urbik, K. Wallace, and Sonny make the team this year. Also looking forward to seeing if Redman or Summers have improved. There’s a lot of potential I hope we see some benefit from. Those guys would be better than any FA.

I’m going to miss Parker. But I love Mendenhall.
