2009 Free Agents

If we got T. Suggs and Hanesworth I'm cool. Re- sign Hall, trade betts for a 4th, trade down for a low 1st early 2nd and thats you're offseason.

What about the O-line

Jacobs would probably make a good tackle or guard.......

Neither would be worth a damn if we don't address our NEEDS up front!

Jacobs is a great back. I never said we should go after him as I am well aware of our O line situation. Just said I'd like to have him in the back with Portis. Thanks

I'm sure Suggs will be franchised by Baltimore, although he would be a great replacement for Marcus Washington.

I'm afraid Haynesworth will be like a Dana Stubblefield and fall off once he signs a fat contract. We need to build the O-line and D-line through the draft, although I'd love to see us make a run at Jordan Gross- he's an absolute beast. Sproles would be a great change of pace back along with CP, as well as a bonafide return threat (something we haven't had in awhile).

If we could get rid of aging vets on the O-line like Kendall and Jansen, add one through FA like Gross and another through the draft (Oher, Monroe, Ciron Black) and then throw in a change of pace back such as Sproles, I think our offense could be substantially improved in '09.

Nice post Skins n Vols and welcome to the board! I have the same reservations about Haynesworth.

If we pick up a Free Agent OL, we should not break the bank. We should not pick up any pricey FA. If these guys are not expensive....

1) Jason Brown (Ravens) 6'3" 320 pounds-Possesses a great blend of quickness and explosiveness off the ball. Price?
2) Mark Tauscher (Green Bay) 6'3" 316-Good player but will be too expensive.
3) Stacy Andrews (Bengals) 6'7" 345- Serious right knee injury in Game 15, Dec. 21 at Cleveland. Only 28. Plays RT.
4) Mike Goff (Chargers) 6'5" 311 pounds. A bit old at 32, but can still play. If price is right, would be ok. Not ideal.

Id like to keep Kendall for atleast one more season, he still could serve some good on the line.

I have always liked Correll Buckhalter, UFA, Philadelphia Eagles. He is a good #2 RB.

WE need O line before D line. I would love to get Suggs and Haynesworth, but it was our D that kept this team from going 6-10. Our O line is old and getting decrepit. IF we had the line we had a few years ago we would have probably been in the playoffs, but now they are all injury prone. I still say use the draft a bit more than FA. You can get kids that are cheaper and have them around for the standard 4 year deal, and if they develop you have yourself a great line to build a real team around.

i dont care who we sign as long as there under 30 years old
