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.

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.

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! :D

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

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

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.

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

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.
