Don't get me wrong, yesterday was awesome but I think they still have some holes they could fill in FA if possible, especially to create some quality depth if possible. Is there another safety? An LB perhaps (really hope they consider levy a backup), or maybe DE who is quality backup? Maybe some solid ST guys, how about a punter?

Are there any more moves Mayhew will make or will he rest on what he got yesterday and look for these depth guys when guys get released from other teams as opposed to current FAs.
 
Gotta be Delmas. Fits the system. Likes Detroit. Visiting San Francisco today.....which could mean he leaves.....but unless they make a really good offer to him.....I think he comes back.
 
I kinda hope we snag a speedy possession receiver in FA so Mayhew doesn't try to draft one early again. Not sure who is out there that fits that description and is reasonably priced, but I hope we're at least kicking the tires on somebody. I'm worried about Broyles and Burleson staying healthy and taking some heat off of CJ.

In my opinion Broyles and Burleson will be adequate seeing as how we now have a RB in Bush who can catch passes out of the backfield well like Best could. Now i'm just worried what we will do with our OL. Losing Cherilus doesn't hurt, Hilliard will fill in admirably or better, but who fills in for Peterman? Backus at LT also worries me a little now. Reiff in at Guard helps.

We gotta go DE in the draft, Milliner works too.
 
I think we need to go Fisher or Joekel if they are there, and then go DE in rd 2. One of those two on the left side and we can move Backus to the right and Reiff inside. Hopefully Nagy takes over for Raiolla and that folks would be a damn good O-line.
 
Would be perfect fits.

Oh, and cheap.

still have my fingers crossed for this. I read a few places where they are calling DHB a bust, but I think being anble to learn from CJ, and Burelson and having a good QB would really help him trun around
 
It must suck being a WR in Oakland. Even Moss failed there..

when you have that goof QB terrel pryor from ohio state saying hes ready to be a leader on your team......your team is in big trouble lol.

Agreed on DHB. Would be a nice add.

Him and Ginn for returns.

Carey Williams and Delmas back would be nice adds too now that we have Glover. The flooded CB market was the best thing ever getting Houston for 5 million per. And Bush for 4 million per was great.
 
i'm still pretty blown away with the signings, i figured 1 or 2 and still losing Houston.
I would still like them to look at Ginn for a returner unless they have someone in mind in draft.
 
When I opened this website yesterday, the first headline I saw was that Deangelo Hall was a Lion.

We went from that to signing Bush (who I've wanted all along), a young stud at safety and a potential starter at DE and resigning Houston. I usually don't get excited over FA, but this year has been great. Also, did I mention we did NOT sign Deangelo Hall?
 
We got too much too quick. We need another free agent so I can get excited again..What DE or LT out there, or CB?

Plenty of quality DBs on the market still. Chris Gamble, Brent Grimes, DeAngelo Hall (yes, I like the guy, I just think he played out of system in Washington), Quentin Jammer, Kerry Rhodes, Adrian Wilson....Aquib Talib, Antione Winfield... guys who can be a one or two year stop gap on the cheap because the market is so overloaded.

I'd love to see us sign another CB and be able to focus attention on DE/OT in the early draft and then take a mid round stab at Tyrann Mathieu. Really don't care if the kid has a weed history, he plays fast on game day.

I'd take Aquib Talib. Gamble is retiring.
