Dunta Robinson is really interesting to me.Whenever I watched him last season he was making plays.He had a really good game against the Redskins.

Yea, i like him A LOT. He is one mean S.O.B. Think he might be out of our price range tho.

And didn't Free just get an extension like last season?

[DC9]

No, McClain is only worth a tryout and that is it. Wouldn't give up anything for him and wouldn't be assured that he makes the team. Terrible coverage linebacker.

You have Glenn Dorsey in the OP, not Tyson Jackson

Ah, the ole' Bayou Bengal mix-up. Good call. Thanks.

I wouldn't be against taking a flyer on McClain unless there is a really interesting developmental guy out there in the 6th round. That said, he probably won't go for a sixth.

I'm willing to give any member of the Oakland Raiders the benefit of the doubt.

[Rufus T Firefly]

Yeah, DHB and T Jackson are the only names on that list I would be at al interested in. Depending on price, of course.

None of these recent names really intrigue me. Our priority in FA has to be a safety. Has to be. There is nothing more pressing. Corner could be addressed as well. But with the current cap situation, money is quite the object. Fill the biggest need. From there, BPA in the draft. Tyson Jackson, although not worth a huge contract, likely wouldn't come cheap.

I appreciate the fact that there are moves we can make on the cheap and shore up our roster a bit, but the team has to be money weary. No wasted dollars.

Geeez chillax KDawg, i am only identifying players i think could contribute as skins. You're gonna have a boring off-season if you don't wanna hear any names that aren't safeties lol

[mojo]

Isn't Mcclain the guy who was arrested for holding a gun to a mans head a while back and then just recently was cited for giving a false name to an officer after he was pulled over for tinted windows?

I would definitely pass. You can't blame the Raiders for this guy being a mental midget.

Lunchtime nuggets from rotoworld.com:

League sources tell CBS' Jason La Canfora that Jermichael Finley is not expected to be with the Packers next season.
Finley is owed a $3.5 million roster bonus in March in addition to his $4.45 million in 2013 base salary. Coming off a season in which he seemed to clash with Aaron Rodgers while recording just 667 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games, we could certainly see the Pack moving on. However, some local reports have Finley sticking thanks to a mini-resurgence late in the season. Expect the Packers to hold off as long as possible on a decision here, in part so they can evaluate the health of potential replacement Andrew Quarless (torn ACL).

Haloti Ngata (knee) is scheduled for a Thursday MRI.
Ngata left Sunday's Super Bowl in the third quarter and did not return. The four-time Pro Bowler had been playing on a sprained MCL for much of the season. Early indications were that Ngata avoided a ligament tear, but we won't know for sure until Thursday afternoon.

ESPN Cleveland does not expect free agent WR Mohamed Massaquoi to re-sign with the Browns.
After four disappointing years in Cleveland, it's time to move on. Massaquoi never topped 36 catches in a season, had two 100-yard games and got severely outplayed by Josh Gordon in 2012. Expect a soft market for the former second-round pick.

I'm not sure how you got the opinion I wasn't chilled. I merely stated none of those names intrigue me.

Whoa whoa whoa, dude. Take a breath. That temper's gonna get you in trouble one of these days.

Even though you were crabby pants the other day, I agree:

So you're agreeing with me about it being dumb to assume anything about the moods of other posters, while you continue to assume you know mine?

First, I was just 'teasin KDawg cuz of his whole "Safety absolutely has to, has to, must be, only thing I wanna hear, most important issue in the universe, none may be addressed before safety" statement. I MIGHT be paraphrasing a bit lol
Second, Rufus you ARE a crabby pants.

There's other positions on the field besides safety? Color me confused, now...

Yeah, I was just making a harmless joke too. But then DC9 decided to resurrect a previous conversation and continue to blame me that he couldn't/wouldn't understand my statements that he chose to quote and address.

But if either of you want to continue concerning yourselves with the state of my pants, go ahead. I shan't waste any more time on such foolishness.
