CB Cortland Finnegan

DT Kyle Love

G Chris Scott

CB Charles Tillman

FB Mike Tolbert

QB Joe Webb

 

Restricted
 

OT Mike Remmers

WR Stephen Hill

DE Frank Alexander

I just want Big Frank to have one full season with us. He's one of my faves and if healthy, he would be one heckuva safety valve in the DL rotation. 

Having said that, I'm just hoping he hasn't smoked himself retarted in his long absence. 

The others that I left on this list are wants. I still think Cotchery is money when it counts and is still an on-the-field coach for our youngsters...not to mention I have little faith in Corey Brown and hope Stephen Hill can push CB for his spot.

Isn't Frank suspended all of next year? no one is going to pick his ass up, he smoked himself out of the league.

Tender offers are probably coming for Remmers and Hill. I'm about 50-50 on Alexander. 

Among the UFAs, Tolbert, Nortman and Webb are the ones I feel fairly certain will be back, while Cotchery, Harper, Tillman and Velasco seem the most likely to be let walk.

Would like to see Kyle Love re-signed but I don't know if it'll happen.

I am surprised to see your doubts on Kyle Love.  Is it money or performance that you think would cause him to be let go, or do you think another team snags him (offers more than we can pay)?

I have thought he was a solid piece of our Dline rotation.

Yes, he got suspended 1 year after the Deadskins game, just before our Thanksgiving game in Dallas. Was the same time Wes got his 4 game vacation and Stephen Hill got a 1 week penalty and CJ came off the IR-DtR

Big Frank will be able to play the last 5-7 games next year, depending on the schedule. Worth holding on to him since he won't count against the 53 man roster while he's suspended, and we might need another DE if the injury bug bites us at that position late next season. Will be cheap, too, since he could only play a partial season

I would re-sign the bolded players. Most of them for the minimum. Tolbert, Love and Nortman get more than that and Remmers gets $2.5M on a RFA tender. The rest are guys fighting for a spot in camp. If someone else offers more then let them go. Cotchery, Harper, Tillman and Frank are gone.

Pretty much agree with your comment.

Not sure we keep all three Oline guys (Silatolu, Scott & Velasco) .  Maybe only 2?  There's also Chandler, and Remmers might become a multi-position backup at Oline, plus bring in new guys.... But maybe we keep all 3 and let them compete for spots.

Oh, I like him a lot and hope the team brings him back.

I just don't know if they will.

My thinking is that we have a 90 man roster to fill and only 60 or so under contract with almost none of them being backup OL so just offer all of them 1 year minimum deals and most will accept them then let them compete with the UDFA's for a roster spot. If all of them take the deal then whatever. We aren't committing any guaranteed money aside from relatively tiny signing bonuses so we can cut whoever, whenever we want. To be honest I'm not even sure who the hell Tyronne Green is and I'd bring him back too. I guess he's some OG that got hurt in camp last year that won't make the team, but he is probably fine for camp fodder. We need those guys too.

I definitely want Love back. I think he broke out this year. Hell, he was better than Star for the first 4-5 games until Star got into shape. He's basically the perfect backup DT. He's a guy I would try like hell to re-sign to a reasonable deal before FA starts if I was Gettleman so no one steals him.

Quality role player, glad to have him back.

[Carl Spackler]

Underrated move, Jacobs is cash on ST and can fill in for bit parts too
