Plus, it's not on KFFL but they're interested in Jon Runyan..

Those would be a couple of good pickups for them.

They could sign a leper in May and many here would declare them geniuses.

I dont like Deshea... Caldwell would be a good fit for them for sure though, as would Runyan, obviously..

Runyan would be a good fit for anyone.

Pat,where's my medium wing sauce? BTW, you still make the sweet and tanggy too?

[ICE74129]

They are both the same mid tier FA's that we are looking at. Again on Runyan, if he wants to come and sit FIRST, Ok. But I don't offer up a contract to anyone unless they come here first.

The bills sign a few guys and we're not making a big enough splash

The pats sign no one and they're a sleeping tiger ...

WTF?

I've been saying for 2 months I would love to have Caldwell here!

WTF? Wys is reborn. :ill: Wys didn't whine as much though.

I'm with you. It would be a great pickup!!! :hi5:

[Gunzlingr]

I will be pissed if Marv doesn't sign these guys. :mad:

[Philagape]

Caldwell's a sleeper who could pass for a No. 2 WR under the right circumstances (him staying healthy, for one). At the least, I'd rank him above Andre Davis.

With the exception of Tripplett, who paired along another good DT should continue to prosper.. I wouldnt even label Royal, Davis or Bowen as 'mid tier FA's'

[patmoran2006]

royal washed out campbell...... davis washes out reed.........and bowen will likely make coy wire get cut..

True, but they are probably better depth than those they are replacing. And we all know how important depth is in today's game!!!

[Philagape]

Of our signings so far, Royal is the one that actually encourages me. We did need a blocking TE.

I Heard that kid from Maryland can block pretty well.. and I heard he's pretty fast and can wreck an entire defense.

I'd have no problem taking him, but I wouldn't worry if we didn't either
