2009 Free Agents

Exactly. I couldnt have said it better myself. Signing Pace would be a brilliant move. Between Samuels and Pace, i'd probably move Samuels to RT and keep Pace at LT. Next year we could draft a T with our 1st round pick and groom him behind Samuels and Pace.

This year, we could sit at 13 and take Maualuga if he's still there or trade down in the first (if we find a partner) and pick up a 2nd round pick. In the latter scenario, id draft LB and DE with my first two picks and use the third rounder on a project lineman.

The first part I agree with. Why take a risk with an unproven pick when we can get an all pro in Pace for 1 year? He can extend his career by moving to the right side where he won't face top pass rushers. SIGN PACE!!! I'd keep Samuels at LT and move Pace RT and draft a sure OT (I think Oher and Smith are risky at 13). I would not take Malauga, but other than that I agree with you for once BHA.

Word is at the WP that Doughty will sign a one year contract to resign with the Skins.

Thought that was a done deal, not official yet?

I don't think it's official until the paperwork has been inked.

Looks like LT is staying with the Chargers...

Shouldn't they Doughty and Fincher stuff go on this thread? Why start a new one on each player we sign or resign?

My god do we really want one giant thread? What is this aversion to starting new threads lately?

Ditto. I think the idea of having one thread for all free agent talk is retarded. Break out individual subjects (ie, players) into its own thread. That's what threads are for! Much easier to sift through multiple threads than it is a single thread with 800 posts.

I like both, the one big generic thread that catches all the names and trades, and then spinoffs, when a player of merit (by the thread starter at least) comes available or is signed. I've really enjoyed the board so far this off season.
