Shane Olivea and Lorenzo Neal cut

We have no need for Neal, maybe if that is a position of need but Big Mike has been holding it down pretty good. And Olivea is probably gonna handle a hefty sized contract, he's young and he's good and that equals a big payday in free agency.

Adam Schefner had a pretty profound quote on NFL Total Access. He said something along the lines of "those teams that don't do well in the draft are forced to overpay for players in Free agency."

Why don't we just sign everyone's rejects. We have NO NEED for a 37 year old FB coming off a broken leg. I'm sure he's 100% healthy but we have Sellers and he can do the job. I don't know much about Olivea other than I believe he's been an effective starter along a pretty good O-line.

neal has at best 2 years left...i follow the chargers pretty good out here and the guy legs are just gone..but if we can steal him take him.

We don't need a damn fullback....unless it's at vet min:)

Oh God, another chance for Warpath members to bash Mike Sellers who has been nothing but productive the past few years. Don't know what kind of salary Olivea would want, so I'll wait to see on him.

Sorry Mike Sellers http://www.theradiotrip.com/resources/images/sound_bites_images/Miscellaneous/rodney_dangerfield_tn.jpg

Poor Sellers, I thought he was popular with ppl. This is the second or third thread for a FB, which is crazy!! We have bigger needs than a FB, which we can pick up (a second) FB late in the draft.

Mike Sellers is one of the best fullbacks in the league. He was the first alternate to the pro bowl for a reason. Anyone who thinks we should replace him is retarded. He can run, catch, and block well.

I'm not sure that people want to replace Big Mike but would rather have more depth at the FB position

You'd be surprised. If I hadn't seen this before I would agree with you, but recently more and more people are lobbying to get a new FB to replace Sellers. Which in theory would be great, because Sellers is a very good player, so to find a better player would be awesome.

The craziest thing I hear is that Sellers can't block over the middle. Which I could believe if:

1. I saw it during the 12 or 13 games I got a chance to watch live from start to finish (Sopcast started to screw me over near the end of the season thank God for the new system of selecting Prime Time games during the second half of the season, the other games I watch the gametrek on NFL.com), or

2. Heard it from a respected analyst.

fb is not a need, and if we sign one, it should be a 23 year old in the draft, not a 37 year old that's 180 degrees from what we need for the WCO.

mccree is another average player. signing him really doesn't improve the team much beyond depth, though if he's cheap, he's definitely worth a look there.

olivea is good depth and young enough to stick around a while, but i have no idea how much money he wants (which directly affects how much i'd want to sign him), and he wants to start, so we're not exactly his best option (besides that season ending OL curse we've been developing).
