I smell contract extensions

Who's first?

My vote goes to Schobel

Or would June cap casualties Mike Allstott or Larry Allen look good?

[HenryRules]

I don't think Larry Allen would look good. I think last year was his last good year and signing him would not be beneficial. Parcells had trouble getting him to stay in shape. I don't think he's going to be healthy for more than 8 games or so this year and will be wheezing from exhausting the games that he does play.

Hmmm.. Alstott

[ShadowHawk7]

Allen is 10 times more overrated then RB is.

I wouldn't say that. When Allen plays and is healthy, he is still a top-5 G in the NFL. It's just that those days are few and far between now. No one seems to rate him as much higher than that.

Ruben Brown on the other hand never seems to play like a top-5 G now.

Me too! Then hopefully JJ.

I think we need a blocking TE if there's one out there... certainly Allsott isn't.. Allen may have a season or 2 left but at what cost?

Is there a list of potential cuts anywhere yet?

[Iehoshua]

I have yet to see any cut lists, although I believe we should see some pop up soon now that the draft is over. June 1st cuts are the next big event on the NFL calendar.

With Euhus and Campbell, I don't see too many TE's that are worth signing as FA's lining up to sign with us. Most of the blocking TE's available visited and left unsigned (whether our decision or theirs is never known). My point is basically that I think any TE that is going to contribute is already on our roster.

Since most teams have learned how to run the cap now, I think players like Warner, Collins, and Allen are going to be the general type of cap cuts ... overpaid veterans that are beyond their best due date. There may be the odd exception, but there's still a fair number of teams with decent cap space out there, so I'd be suprised if we can outbid anyone.

I thought Alstott was going to retire after having problems with his neck.

we got the best blocking TE in the entire draft.. he weights in at 320 lbs, runs a 4.8 and can catch. jason peters.

Let's not fool ourselves- he doesn't have hands of glue. He has 21 catches his entire TE career- which was one season.

What worked in his advantage was none of the 225 lb college LBers could tackle him without 2-3 jumping on.

I thought we were looking at him as a tackle.

Personally, if he's just going to be used on short-yardage situations, I'd rather have someone like Price lineup ineligible than keep someone on our roster that wasn't one of the top 255 prospects in college last year.

Obviously he could suprise and impress at training camp, but right now, I'm not expecting anything from him.
