Don't know how much either has left, but I would bank on Derrick Johnson still being valuable to a team.

These are the guys that are getting picked up for 1-2 year deals these days. Good bargains to be had with long-in-the-tooth veterans if one shops judiciously. See Barwin, Connor.

And we've been talking quite a bit about guys scheduled to FA's this year but I wonder if there is a list of possible CAP casualties. Much like Barron for us (maybe) or Hali for them, there should be more guys on the market due to that.

And I'll bet a lot of them would like to Play for the Ram after the year we just had. And because of our Coaching Staff!!(y);):D

Philly showed how to make good use of free agent signings to finish and fine tune a core roster.

These “types” of cap casualties would be on the table after signing Donald and a center.

Depends on what we do with the Barron and Quinn contracts which may be our own cap casualties.

Yes and I trust Snead's ability to judge talent, yeah he's not perfect but the guy does a great job overall. The type of guys that have been around, and have playoff experience, can really help out.

That being said, while we're talking about cap casualties as possible pick ups, these are not gonna be those guys. I don't think they'll offer us anything over what we already have or even the backups we have.

Yup, ... Hali should retire, he's just about done imo. Johnson could work well as a rotational guy with Ogletree, but they'd both have to cut their salaries considerably to make anything like that work. Ogletree as a spy or an interior pass rusher & Johnson in coverage, between the two they might actually make one great player. :D

Shit changes in a hurry this off season eh.

We could use some LB help and something tells me Snead is holed up somewhere working on it now.
