I still think we will end up with Talib. How?? No idea. But I think it will still happen.

all the TE equivalents of davis are gone. there's him and keller left, and davis is the better option. our offense isn't as good without him (assuming his injury is fully healed by sept).

it looks like davis and a CB is what we need before the draft. i'd love to grab a safety (and vollmer at RT) too, but i don't think we'll get that far.

philly added kenny phillips and connor barwin today. that sucks. decent players at low cost.

If Talib was so great why did Tampa let him go for nothing?

Talib is a very good corner.

Actually Talib's numbers (posted earlier in this thread) show that he is rather middle-of-the-road ordinary. Added to this, of course, are his off-field concerns.

Yet some folks here (not pointing at you) treat him like he was Revis or something. I'm not buying.

Technically Peyton Manning was let go by the Colts for nothing too. I wouldn't judge a player's talent by how the team or coach treats that player. There can be other reasons that a player is cut.

It's not hard to find someone to restructure. No one is going to turn down more money now rather than later.

Skins are just waiting for the CB market to cool off, gain some leverage, and then go after some guys. They'll clear up room as needed as they go. No sense in opening up $5M in space now and lose some leverage in the process. They can play the woe is us we have no cap room to their advantage.

I so hate when people ask this question. The coaches that were there when Talib was drafted were not the same that let him go.

Don't think he is Revis but I think he is an above average corner who would be our best defensive back on the team.

And I believe it will.

Its really hard to gauge Freddy's value right now. Despite his talents, he wasn't really being utilized early last year before the injury. Add in the Ganja suspension and the bum Achilles, and you have to wonder how indespinsible he is to the Skins...

He's not exactly indispensable because of the good class of TE's in the draft, but still fairly important. I've always thought a good tight end is part of that championship formula.

[That Guy]

we need to use the draft to get DBs and maybe an OT. i think picking a TE there is probably not best use if we can get davis back somewhat cheaply. he's not exactly in line for a monster payday right now.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Looks like the Pats are gonna be running a lot of 3TE sets.

We just signed Trueblood and resigned Kehl
