[Mr. Miyagi]

There isn't anyone I really want out of that list. We may as well save the money for the draft picks and June 1st cuts.

[Earthquake Enyart]

If O'Donnell is #5, there isn't squat left.

Big Cat is done. Put him in the Fina pile.

[Dozerdog]

I wouldn't mind Lassiter on the Bills- but i won't get greedy

[Bruce is Loose]

i would love lassiter if he doesnt want too much, and gary would be nice for RB depth
that would allow us to focus almost exclusivly on OL/DL depth in the draft (along with a LB, TE, WR perhaps)

[jchild178]

why not bring in ernie conwell as a TE?!

[don137]

No one really excites me either. I rather see how we draft and who is available after June 1st. If their is some money left then re-work a couple players conracts to lessen the burden for 2004 (i.e.Winfield).

[Gunzlingr]

Lassiter is who I would want. The rest are crap. Carter signed with the jets today.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Boy, for supposedly having all that cap room, the Jets haven't done squat.

[TedMock]

I'd actually love to have Gary in as a backup and those talks are already in place. Nobody else on the list strikes my interest.

[hintexas]

If we could convince Lassiter to sign for less then he is asking for he would be a great addition. (Collins would be nice too.) YOu would think Lassiter has to be hungry to play on a good team after playing for Arizona. I think he visited Pittsburgh this week.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Might as well wait for the June 1 cuts.
