Giantone 03-09-2009, 08:58 AM sorry giantone, never heard of him :)
Brown was a four-year starter in Houston — or at least he would’ve been if he hadn’t fractured his right forearm in the Texans’ Week 3 game last season and missed the final 13 games. He had surgery to repair the break the next day, and according to Wiestling he’s now “100 percent healthy (and) was cleared to play at the end of December.” So he’ll be ready for the May mini-camp of whichever team signs him.
At 6-foot, 208 pounds, Brown is known more for his run defense than his pass defense. He could compete for a starting job, though, next to either Michael Johnson or Kenny Phillips. At the very least he’d be part of a safety rotation that is currently only two-men deep.
The Goat 03-09-2009, 07:41 PM I thought he was a solid tackle. Why would Cinci be letting him go? If he becomes available, wouldn't he be the best tackle on the market??
Jones has struggled w/ injuries the last 2 years and otherwise appears to have declined a bit in ability... he's not a franchise LT at this point and Cinci would be wise to use the 6th overall to replace him... in which case he'd be cut after the draft cuz why pay the guy franchise LT money to be a backup. I just doubt he'd command big money cuz there's really a lot of OT talent coming in the draft... i tend to think 6 or maybe 7 guys from the position will get drafted in the 1st round alone. I'm def not saying this is a good plan for us but just something we might be able to fall back on...
ChickenMonkey 03-10-2009, 01:27 AM Best under 30 and both real needs at this point..Signing them would change our whole draft board.
6. Khalif Barnes, OT: If the evaluation was based on size and talent alone, he wouldn’t even be on the market. But Barnes has had trouble off the field, and gave up 7½ sacks and committed nine penalties last season. He’s still young (26) and if he could get some discipline in his life, he could be a good starting tackle well into his 30s.
7. Angelo Crowell, LB: Some personnel men think his decision-making is inconsistent, but he was undeniably productive before suffering a season-ending knee injury last year. He’s got the size and speed to play inside or out in either a 3-4 or 4-3. If it weren’t for the lag of that knee injury, he’d be long gone by now.

Personally I vote for signing Leigh Bodden and cutting Smoot.

It would cost us $4.2M to cut Smoot, which is almost identical to his salary this year anyway. Plus we'd have to pay Bodden. Not sure if this is possible given our other needs.
Ruhskins 03-10-2009, 04:09 PM Wow, the Bengals are giving Coles almost 10 mil of guaranteed money.

SmootSmack 03-10-2009, 04:12 PM Cowboys picked up Gerald Sensabaugh. Not a bad move there
GTripp0012 03-10-2009, 04:39 PM Bodden is a steal for the Pats, but what else is new. We probably didn't have the cap space to throw at a non issue like that, honestly (it's less that we don't have enough, but that we don't have means to create any more should we run out), but I'm guessing his contract is not quite what Hall's looks like.
skinsfan_nn 03-10-2009, 04:44 PM The cowpukes new pacturd....? Get rid of a few turds just to start bringing more in....NICE. :doh:
Surely he was going to go enlist in the military...3 guns, one of which was an AK......? geez
COWBOYS CUFF SENSABAUGH
Posted by Mike Florio on March 10, 2009, 1:09 p.m.
Free-agent safety Gerald Sensabaugh, a former Jaguar who has been arrested three times in roughly two years in his hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee, has agreed to terms with the Cowboys, according to Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News.
It’s a one-year deal.
Sensabaugh will provide depth to a depth chart that has lost Roy Williams, and could still lose free-agent Keith Davis.
Last month, Sensabaugh was busted for driving his Bentley on a suspended license. He had three guns in the car at the time (including an AK-47) but apparently was in legal possession of the weapons.
GTripp0012 03-10-2009, 04:48 PM Driving on a suspended license isn't quite 15+ arrests in four years.
