And if we are looking to replace Dunbar (I want to keep him - but at the right price), what about Jacquizz Rodgers? I thought the Falcons misused him and with Forte he wasn't going to get a lot of time in Chicago. He seems to me to be a nice fit in that Dunbar role. Once again - price is a factor here.

With our current situation, he might be financial fit we need. Despite his age he did lead the league with 11 rushing T.D.'s sharing a lot of time with Bell, till he went down. At a cost of only 2 million.

The fact we are discussing the merits of a guy like Williams that helps "maintain" what is at best a pedestrian running game says volumes about the situation we are in.

Really, just what we need. Another low character player thug that likes to hang out at strip clubs.

Speaking of (former) #Eagles QBs: Keep an eye on #Dolphins, #Cowboys, #Redskins, who'll be among teams interested if #Rams deal Nick Foles.

Nick Foles, please. We can do better than a scrub like him.

I think we have a new RB prospect that may have appeared on Jerry's wish list.

Ian Rapoport is about as credible as Bryan Broadeus. Meaning - useless.

He's still waiting for the Walmart video.

Looks like the 2 guys I wanted in free agency is not looking so good. Jefferies is out of the question for sure, after being franchised. Miami just redid Suh's contract and freed up 18 million. Wonder if they will be using any of that for Lamar Miller. Dolphins look they are really getting aggressive. But I have also heard Miami is very serious about going with Ajayi, the rookie they drafted last year. So Miller just may still be in play but I'm not sure what he is looking for regarding $$$$$$$$. Dolphins owner is on record, recently stating that if the Dolphins don't make the playoffs next year, another house cleaning will take place.

Mr. B. The guy you are a bit high on, Mario Williams. He is interviewing with the Giants today.

Cowboys have placed a 2nd round tender on G Ron Leary at price of $2.553 million. Move was expected.

This exactly what I was hoping they would do with Leary. He's good enough to start on pretty much any team in the league. If another team wants him the Dallas will be getting back a 2nd round pick for losing him. If no one signs him then Dallas gets to keep some very quality depth on the OL for a very reasonable price.

Yea I think he priced himself out of the market for the Cowboys. He's saying he wants $10 mil a season. No way would I give that much to a guy over 30.

That's a bit of a good sign. Hopefully someone will bite. Looks like the Cowboy's are showing a bit of their hand, and I think I may be liking it. Another second round pick for Leary would be awesome. And If the Cowboys do trade back for an extra pick, we are possibly looking for 4 picks in the first two rounds.

If I was Tennessee it would be hard to give up that second round pick but Leary would do wonders for that line, especially if they draft Tunsil. Mariota would have one of the best OL in the AFC.

Buffalo is another place Leary could end up.

Well that is a good scenario for the Titans. However they are also desperate for a RB and WR.

Not anymore after trading for Murray. O-line is definitely they're 1st pick.
