Wayne is by far the best of the WR FA's, but I doubt the Colts are going to let him get away.
Kelley Washington is an injury nightmare waiting to happen.
Kevin Curtis is a FA next year. Now THERE is a guy we could use. The Rams will probably lock him up but if they don't, the guy is blazing fast, young, and has great hands. When Bruce went down he was on a tear.
Other FA receivers I'd take a flyer on:
Andre Davis (why did the Pats even sign him, he never plays, and he was on the verge of breaking out in Clevetown)
Antonio Bryant (but he'll probably get resigned)
Reche Caldwell (big and surehanded, was close to breaking out last year but injuries sidetracked him)
Edell Shepherd (just kidding)
Rod Gardner (REALLY kidding)
Darnerian McCants (Okay, I'm wetting myself from laughing so hard...)

the skins could go after nate clements from buffalo. i remember him being talked about last offseason. he would help sure up the cb position , plus he's played for greg williams

Clements is hot dynamite on a platter in the kick return game, I might add.

Here is another interesting site, though it kind of puts a damper on the free agent wish listing and makes it seem (on its face at least) that Lavar might not be back next year (probably my fault for buying two authentic Arrington jerseys...that is usually the kiss of death, same thing happened with Champ Bailey).

The laws of physics demand that Darrell Jackson not be the only decent Florida WR to make it in the NFL...

I dont know if they'll let Clements go. He is a shutdown corner and probably one of the best in the league. He'll want a lot of money as well.

I say forget guys like Clements, Abraham, and other high-profile free agents. Why break the bank when we've got a great core roster? We were damn close to "the game." We need a few BACKUPS at wideout, tight-end, corner, oline, and dline (i.e. situational pass rusher). But, we don't need marquee players.
I would be surprised if we saw more than 2 new starters. I think Gibbs likes who we've got and so do I.

i'd love to trade samuels for someone who can actually play as well as their contract (maybe trade him for runyan?)... yeah yeah, there's no way we'd ever do anything like that, but i really wish he could be a great player instead of just a great talent.
WR - wayne (of course), or draft S moss, or reche caldwell, K curtis, JJ, givens, lloyd
DE - mathis, bosch, KvO, kampman
OL (G/T) - draft depth and bring in a capable spot starter through FO (bucs have two good guys but they'd probably want to start and good money)
DT - hovan, tripplet, bernard
CB - draft, clements, R manning
TE - fauria, baker
P/K/PR/KR - anyone that doesn't totally suck, please... vinetari, longwell, janikowski
willie ponder, RW mcquarters, somebody
I'd vote for reggie wayne if we can get him, if not, there's lots of #2s out there... reche is a capable #2 though he was injured this year... curtis is a guy that could do the job as well, as could joey J (who i doubt is leaving seattle), or givens.
DE - mathis is the obvious choice (bosch and KvO are good high priced guys too), but kampman is probably the best value and may be set for a breakout year... howard wouldn't be a bad pickup either. At DT hovan or tripplet would be great guys to have, but if we got someone like benard (cheaper) as a #3 instead of going for a #1/#2, it'd leave us in a better cap situation, and we really don't need a new starter at DT as much as a guy to spell and cover (well) for injuries.
TE - fauria, maybe chris baker (jets), but fauria would be a good pickup.
K - vinetari (unlikely), longwell, janikowski, anyone without chronic hamstring problems and an ability to make FGs when called. Novak is a no go, he kicks low and had too many blocks in such a short stint here.
CB - nate clements would be a great idea, though he might suffer from the champ bailey effect (tackles after the catch)... haven't seen him much, but he hasn't looked bad. R manning (panthers) would be a good pickup too. Springs is still our starter when not injuried, whoever said he should be moved to nickel is smoking... he's still much better than rogers at this point. for our #3 we should try to draft one so we have someone cheap and young since this CB market isn't very good. Make A brown a CB :P, he's fast, he's cheap, and he has no offensive production to his name. If we've got him hanging around, let's use him.
OL - remember we need good backups not starters, but we obviouslt need at leat a guard and a tackle that can play better than what we saw raymer do. He was done last year and i honestly don't know why we even bothered keeping him on the roster, he's a turnstile. Maybe draft some really huge guys here and hope they fare better than the last we took. We need at least one FA or draftee here who we KNOW is capable of starting if needed though, that seattle game was pitiful... the 43 year old was a great guy to have cause he could still play, but he's gone now.
LB - we need somebody if lavar is gone, holdman sucks (and isn't even good for depth). cato june might be nice, we need one starter and one quality backup though and i don't see any names that really stick out :/
P - anyone... frost has too many bad kicks to his good ones, though he is really fast for a punter.
PR/KR - someone that can dodge gunners and is fast (brown has no hands, betts keeps diving into the nearest pile)
