Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;532197]I like Kevin Burnett as our replacement for LB. He is young and a goo blitzer, just what we need. Has good size and can cover. Here is what NFL.com says about him.


[B]Kevin Burnett[/B], OLB, Dallas Cowboys: Although he was a backup last season, he actually saw a good deal of playing time in nickel situations and handled himself well. As the year progressed, he made his mark in Wade Phillips' defense as an effective blitzer. Burnett enters the open market in search of a starting role, something he couldn't get in Dallas. Judging by the steady improvement he showed, another team could very well be catching him on the rise.[/quote]

I posted about him somewhere but I can't remember where. Glad to see someone else picked up on this. I don't know if we have enough money left for him but he's worth a look.

Nice 44. Davis or Olshansky don't look to bad but signing Evans who is already familiar with us and is a good locker room presence is probably our best bet.

Does anyone know if Chauncey Davis is still available today 3/3/09

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

anybody else kinda shocked that we didn't have a followup signing on the heels of JT's release. Maybe I am used to the 5am wake up deals like Friday, but I really thought once they released JT a move was imminent.

I really like Davis, Good stats. no injuries and only 26 years old. only down side may be his height at 6-2 but Im not to worried about that.

Davis was re-signed to a 4 year 14 million dollar deal to the falcons. Seemed like a rotation guy. Def. not an upgrade to Daniels in my opinion.

Just a random note, Ebenezer Ekuban is from the area (I went to high school with him). Too bad he's getting up there in age (33) otherwise I would say let's take a look at him.

For anyone interested here are the Scouts Inc rankings on these players (highest ranking given to a DE is to Seymour in NE - 91)

[B][I]Name Team Rank (notes)[/I][/B]
Berry, ARZ, 71 (note age: 33; 22 tkls/5 sacks in '08)
Davis, ATL, 58 (young: 26; 38 tkls/4 sacks in '08)
Ekuban, DEN, 58 (age an issue: 33; local ties; 38 tks/5 sacks in '08)
Thomas, IND, 57 (age: 27; 28 tkls/0 sacks in '08; face looks weird)
Roye, PIT, 54 (too old: 36; missed a lot of games last season)
Olshansky, SAD, 79 (young: 26; 29 tkls/2 sacks in '08; 3-4 DE, pass rusher)
Green, SAF, (listed as a LB on ESPN)
Carter, TAB, 63 (old: 36; 49 tkls/1 ff/4 sacks)

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

I don't see Willis in the list of OT FAs. Is he signed somewhere and I missed it? Statistically from what I could tell he was the best guy on the market for what it's worth. Probably a legit starter at RT for many years, especially under the heal of Bugel :)

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Willis is meeting with the Raiders today, who just lost Grove to Miami

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

if berry isn't hurt he's the best rusher available, but he's 33 and missed games. olshansky is another HUGE dude, but he was always their run stuff guy... which isn't bad, i just don't think we should expect a ton of sacks from a 310lb DE if he ends up here.
