The all-encompassing "We should sign/claim that guy" thread (merge)

[chad72]

Joselio Hanson of the Eagles is a nickel CB with starting experience, and Cassius Vaughn & Josh Gordy both were picked on yesterday though Gordy looked all over the place. I doubt Vaughn and Gordy make it, Hanson would be a good pickup.

[Nobody]

MarvIn McNutt!! He has looked great, he's only cut because of the depth at WR for the Eagles. We should def pick him up. Him and Brandon Washington.

[gnet550]

I would say go after Jean-Baptiste. I remember hearing his name quite a bit during the draft. He was thought to have good potential and I would say definitely more potential than anyone we have. We can't claim Hanson, but I would try and sign him as well. He would be a nice combination with Davis and Powers.

[Marcio James]

CBs

Alphonso Smith

Darius Butler

[Mameluc]

Baptiste, Brandon Washington, Koppen, Hanson, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, otogwe...we should take a look at some of those guys IMO.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Buffalo released DL Dwan Edwards.

this is the one i was thinking about.

[Coltswarriors]

Some names that jump out to be at first glance that I'd like (that have been cut so far):

CB Joselio Hanson - Cut by Eagles

CB Alphonso Smith - Cut by Lions

DT Nick Jean-Baptiste - Cut by Ravens

DT Dwan Edwards - Cut by Bills

I think when Redding comes back we will be fine between him and Moala, Moala looks pretty good at defensive end in the 3-4 to me

[Playoffs2013]

We should really get Darius butler

I just saw that one. A possibility

[Coltswarriors]

Adding another to my list:

CB Joselio Hanson - Cut by Eagles

CB Alphonso Smith - Cut by Lions

DT Nick Jean-Baptiste - Cut by Ravens

DT Dwan Edwards - Cut by Bills

OL Trai Essex - Cut by Steelers

[IndyD4U]

Essex...interesting! I def say he'd be an upgrade

[Superman]

Essex...interesting! I def say he'd be an upgrade

I think Essex is just as big a liability as anyone we have on the roster right now.

[polk_high_allstar]

CB Darius Butler got cut by the Panthers. Anybody know why he hasnt been living up to his potential since being drafted by the Pats in the 2nd round. Saying this I still believe that he's an upgrade over what we have. I'm also seeing alot of pieces being cut that we can use on our d-line for the 3-4.

[Boiler_Colt]

So Alphonso Smith got cut in favor of Jacob Lacey? No Thanks

[21isSuperman]

Darius Butler (former Pats 2nd round pick) was released by the Panthers.

[FightLikeSin]

Cuts we should look at

NT Nicolas Jean-Baptise

NT Hebron Fangupo

WR Marvin McNutt

OL Brandon Washington

OL Andrew Datko

[21isSuperman]

Hebron Fangupo was released by the Texans. He could help us with our NT woes.

I remember reading about him. He will give you absolutely nothing in the pass rush, but is a good run stuffer.

[FightLikeSin]

I remember reading about him. He will give you absolutely nothing in the pass rush, but is a good run stuffer.

That's what you'll get/what you want in a 3-4. We really need a big NT to command a double team and hold the gap for our LB's to get through.

Thing is Mookie doesnt command a double team all the time but he gets by his man on most play, Just ask Montgomery from Washington

[ztboiler]

I think Essex is just as big a liability as anyone we have on the roster right now.

He makes Justice look quick.

[PrincetonTiger]

Wishlight:

Sash

Jean-Baptise- Dude is a BEST at CB (If that's who we're talking about)

Denard from New England

Keenan Robinson

Tank Carder

Emmanuel Acho

Greg McCoy

Jared Crick (Doubt Houston lets him go though)

It might be interesting to see NJB at CB

[Nobody]

Marquis Maze?

[The Sack Pack]

Emmanuel Acho?

[chad72]

Bears released LB Xavier Adibi, does he fit our system?

[TKnight24]

Emmanuel Acho?

YES! We need Longhorns on this Team. Hope we get some

[That Guy]

Bears released LB Xavier Adibi, does he fit our system?

Not anymore. He fit the Polian/Dungy/Caldwell system really well.

[chad72]

Ha, Saints released kicker John Kasay.

I guess Hartley is healthy after all.

[The Sack Pack]

YES! We need Longhorns on this Team. Hope we get some

Yeah, Acho was released today by Cleveland. Im really hoping they'll take a long look at him.

[21isSuperman]

It might be interesting to see NJB at CB

[TKnight24]

It might be interesting to see NJB at CB

They're talking about the Baptiste from Baylor that plays DT.

The one me & you are talking about Princeton is the CB from Nebraska. But he's not in the NFL yet

[TKnight24]

Yeah, Acho was released today by Cleveland. Im really hoping they'll take a long look at him.

I hope so too. Wish we could get his Brother Sam from Arizona, but the Cardinals named him as a Starter so he's not going anywhere.

[PrincetonTiger]

Gary Guyton

[TKnight24]

Tank Carder from TCU is out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grisgon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Get Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chad72]

Cowboys let go of an Ivy leaguer OT Jeff Adams, here is his profile, I thought it was interesting to see a player from Columbia:

http://nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=114677&draftyear=2012&genpos=OT

[bahhummbug]

They also released Nick Jean-Baptiste, who IMO is the better of the two.

I was hoping too as an udfa we look at these 2

[PrincetonTiger]

Tank Carder from TCU is out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grisgon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Get Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He good be a nice pickup

I can see the signs already

[TKnight24]

Seeing how we're now running a 3-4, we could easily stock up on these LB's. It makes perfect sense. Get Linebacker & D-Line depth when running a 3-4 Defense
