2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 2

Kevin Burnett signs 4 year deal with Fins.

Miami Dolphins sign Kevin Burnett to 4-year deal, source says - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6818378/miami-dolphins-sign-kevin-burnett-4-year-deal-source-says)

rogers and marshall are the only possible CB starters, and i think we already made our choice there, though we'll probably want a depth guy like buchanon, just in case barnes etc don't work out.
RT = brown, OG = lutui (mainly as depth/competition, the starting OG market is pretty dry right now unless you want a 330 pounder, which isn't mike's style).
at LB you probably want a vet as both competition and failure/injury insurance, cause we saw what happened when we were short OL guys and started pulling them off the street and starting them... ugly. just like harrison or hoke would be purely depth, i think there's still 5-7 more vets coming in that way at vet min to ~2.5mill/year.

the only big signing left might be a modest b edwards deal, but honestly, a loser with 14 other WRs might not be super attractive and donte/gaffney/AA/hankerson will be fine as our #2-5 if that's what we end up with. Though we'll have to keep 6 WRs either way, since donte can only play about 6 games in a year (fragile).

Lutui already signed elsewhere, so he's out of the running. And yeah I could see us getting another cornerback, since both Rogers and Buchanon left and we've only replaced them with Wilson so far. Kevin Barnes should have the opportunity to step up but if he's not ready to be 3rd corner yet we should have some insurance just in case.

As far as LB goes, well we have Riley, Henson, Blades, all guys who can play the middle. I think the FO might be content to just have them since they were all here last year and should equally know the system by now. But then again you might be right, they might want some vet. insurance. As for WR, who knows we might be done. If we are it's no big deal, as we have plenty.

Colts apparently have a deal with Manning according to Peter King:

"Peter King
RT @JimIrsay: OFFICIAL----WE HAVE A DEAL!!!!!!! ... Manning takes $18/yr, reports @mortreport. Something major changed in the last month."

I really like how Manning came out and said he would take less money if it meant the Colts could make more moves. True example of being a team player right there. Then again he's probably content making less money because of how much money he makes through endorsement deals and other means as well. But still, it's a great move by him especially when Irsay was willing to pony up the cash to make him the highest paid player in the NFL.

Cullen Jenkins to the Eagles

Wow Eagles is taking on Redskins' role in free agency.. Seems like they want to win NOW. I wonder how he will fit in with Babin and Cole? Is he going to play as DT, then?

Really??

what good is tanking the season if the teams in your division are sooo much better. We need competitive signs.

Tell me how outside of getting rid of two self inflicted problems are we better. We have two sub-par Qb's who are turnover machines, question marks at every position and we don't know if are draft picks are going to be good or not. What sets us apart talent wise from the Bills?
