Not free agents, but available so to speak.. wonder if Winslow makes any sense in Green Bay?

Probably not, Finley is the same type of TE and has less baggage and more upside long term..

2. I know that Browns QB Derek Anderson will be on the trading block very soon, and if the Browns are unable to get anyone to take him off their hands, theyll release him before his roster bonus is due in March.

3. I know that the Browns will also trade tight end Kellen Winslow this off-season and that he has not been a part of any discussions with coaching candidates.

I saw a few names that popped out but one i liked and would love to see the packers maybe go after and its not a big name. Jim Leonhard would be nice. He played ball at Wisconsin and is a wisconsin boy. He played on the Ravens D so maybe he would bring in some attitude. He would be good at safety and also returns punts. I don't think it would take alot to sign him and i believe he would become a fan fav fast. Baltimore won't be able to sign all there defensive players so someone has to go.

Mark your calendars, I agree w/ dhazer. I love, love, love me some Jimmy Leonhard - I don't know that we need to be signing any safeties over other position needs, but I wouldn't mind at all if he came to Green Bay.

I like Winslow a lot, but I'm afraid he's on the downside of things (too many nasty, nagging injuries), and sadly enough he doesn't seem to have inherited his father's classiness.

I'm not thrilled with Finley's attitude, but he's a kid and he can grow out of that stuff. Physically, he could be better than Winslow in not too long.

Lots of interesting names there. Bart Scott is my favorite, and is an absolute must at ILB if we decide to go with the 3-4. Good OLB in 4-3 too.

Jimmy Leonhard grew up and played ball 30 miles from my home. This kid is special everywhere he goes. Walk on starter at wisconsin. Undrafted in the nfl. Street signed by the bills. Now with a injury at Baltimore he is a starter there. He is playing lights out football and the ravens were so taken by how smart he is they made him the defensive play caller after 2 days of practice with the first team. ME LIKEY JIMMMY ALSO!!!!!

Jets | Likely will be interested in Leonhard
Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:43:19 -0800

Dave Hutchinson, of the Star-Ledger, reports the New York Jets likely will be interested in Baltimore Ravens impending free-agent FS Jim Leonhard if he does not re-sign with the Ravens.


Jets | To focus on Scott in free agency?
Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:41:07 -0800

Dave Hutchinson, of The Star-Ledger, reports the New York Jets should focus on signing Baltimore Ravens LB Bart Scott, an impending free agent. With LB Eric Barton an unrestricted free agent, the Jets have an opening at the inside linebacker spot alongside LB David Harris and Scott would be a perfect fit if the team can afford him.


Surprise Surprise Ryan going after Ravens defensive players.



The part im stumped on is they are actually like 7 million over the cap so could this be a sign on Brett?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

My favorite name on that list is Jordan Gross. It would be so nice to have that guy on our o-line.

    dfosterf (5h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (6h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (6h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (6h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (6h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (6h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (6h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (6h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (6h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (6h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (6h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (6h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (6h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (7h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (8h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (8h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (8h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
