gimme BJ (both kinds)

When is the last time they signed a high priced free agent that lived up to or exceeded their billing?

Owens is the only one that comes to mind and that was a mixed bag

Alan Ball is still playing?

I really wouldn't lose any sleep if any of our free agents went elsewhere.

Vet safety is imperative. Even of they draft a safety they need a vet to stabilize the Position. They also need a NT who has energy and power.

Really hope they go for Benjamin from the Browns. He is almost the ideal WR for this offense if healthy.

We should sign Ricardo Lockette so that our white safety can have tackling practice.

Would any of you guys be interested in Alfred Morris?

Jerry being the innovator that he thinks he is, wants small and speedy at that position.

Veteran players (defined as a player with at least one pension-credited season) other than quarterbacks or injured players may report to a club's preseason training camp no earlier than 15 days prior to the club's first scheduled preseason game or July 15, whichever is later.

I don't know how many (if any) of you guys listen to Dallas Sports talk radio but The Fan in Dallas was interviewing Stephen Jones and he made a very interesting comment. His comment gave a glimpse into the future of this team.

Jerry has always been a big spender in FA. Jerry likes the idea of making the big FA splash and being know as a guy that's not afraid to spend (even if it hasn't always worked). Well according to Stephen he is the exact opposite. He does not believe in spending big money on other teams free agents. According to him the best way to build a team is through the draft. Also he said, if you are spending big money in FA it's a clear sign your team hasn't been drafting well.

I've said this before (to my friends) that I think Stephen will end up being one of those really cheap owners. Now I do agree that teams should be built through the draft but at some point you still have to spend money in FA.

Well, no duh. Cheap talent beats expensive talent.

We haven't drafted well, especially after the 1st round.
