erin henderson looks like he's testing free agency

do we need to go after a big name wr in fa? colston and vincent jackson are off the table already

[Worm Guts]

Doesn't look like we're going to make a big splash, and I'm fine with that. I think we need another year of high draft picks before we should spend big money and try to contend. There's just too many holes on this team.

[Worm Guts]

We got him-John Carlson 5 years-25 million

[psundeen]

Paid Carlson way too much money in my opinion. Too much of an injury risk, could have just paid Shiancoe whatever he wanted. At least Shiancoe isnt a big injury risk.

[psundeen]

I agree with you Worm about not making a big splash, especially with the prices people are getting. Although I wish we would be a little more active, and get SOMEONE!

[hermes]

yeah i like the idea of filling holes instead of throwing all the money at one guy- i like that we're staying with the two te's

i'll miss shiancoe but i really like rudolph

we signed some cornerback from the arena league, also artis hicks it seems


in other news, griffin signed with the redskins, hutch is a titan and kenny onatolu is a panther

[hermes]

so we got a couple more fullbacks, so there ya go
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ycn-11129596

also we're hosting tedd ginn jr

[Worm Guts]

Like I've always said, you can never have enough fullbacks.

[hermes]

released remi ayodele (former saint probably wanted to get out of the bounty gate mess- or he's no good)

also signed geoff schwartz, some offensive lineman- here's hoping he's good
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/re ... story.html

and it looks like lex hilliard, released from miami, because the backfield isn't near full enough yet

[hermes]

more movement:

going out: ej henderson will be a dolphin this year

coming in: aromashodu and erin henderson are coming back, also zach bowman from the bears

brinkley is going to getting the starting middle lb job next year

[Chanse503]

Love bringing back Aromashodu.
Jasper is a big hitter and is due for a shot.
Still would love to have gone after a big name in FA.

[hermes]

hey look at us, improving our secondary

i'm alright with not getting a big name (well spending a lot of money on a big name anyway) we're not one player away from turning this thing around - we need a lot of pieces so i'd rather cover a lot of holes than fill one and hope


tyrell johnson signed with the dolphins

[Chanse503]

Marvin Mitchell | OLB
Mitchell signed with the Vikings on Tuesday, the team announced in a release. The former Dolphin had 30 tackles, one sack and one interception last season.
