He just doesn't want us drafting Milliner which keeps looking more likely (if he is still there). Skrine is currently our other starter on the outside.

I wouldn't want Talib. Not worth the headaches. There's a reason he only got a 1 year deal.

Mike Jenkins, Captain Munnerlyn, Antoine Winfield, Asomugh, Quinton Jammer, Brent Grimes, DeAngelo Hall, Chria Gamble...all still available. It will all be okay. The front office is likely waiting to see who the price tag drops on.

Truth.

I can see that, and I hope it's true.

Well, now that Jennings is off the board (hope he enjoys Ponder lol!), who do you guys like us to target at the WR position? We obviously need SOMEONE since we let superstar MoMass leave :p

Brandon Lloyd just got released, but he doesn't sound like the kind of attitude we need in our locker room. That doesn't leave much else out there though...

I would take a flyer on Danario Alexander. He's made of glass but really skilled.

Also, Brent Grimes visited with the Browns.

I would be ecstatic if we sign him. We would have arguably the best DB tandem in the AFC.

Assuming he comes back 100%.

Agreed, but he's already 6 months into his rehab. Hopefully, we could sign him to a multi-year deal and lock up the duo through 2015.

Read on twitter that the Browns contacted Grimes agent on Friday and he's flying in.

Signing Grimes would be awesome, but it appears that he's just doing his due diligence at this time...

Brent Grimes - DB - Falcons

Free agent CB Brent Grimes is not expected to sign with the Dolphins.

Grimes visited the Dolphins and Browns this weekend and should continue to draw heavy interest as the top cornerback available in free agency. A source tells the Palm Beach Post that Grimes isn't considering signing with Miami "or any other team" at this time.

I'm with Mulva. Alexander has some serious abilities. I'd bring him in.

No thanks. He's a restricted free agent. That means a draft pick. Can't afford that, esp for a guy made of glass.

I'd much rather throw Edelman in the slot than gamble on Alexander's health. I think the two FA WRs that are still available that make the most sense for what they say they want to do are 36 year old Brandon Stokley and 27 year old Austin Collie. I hope its the latter, but the WR market is thinning quickly and the browns haven't shown any activity yet.

And he had 7 TDs over the last 9 games. That's production.

I hope with some of this cap room they resign Mack and Haden after they get done with free agent moves. Im still holding out for Fred Davis. But, I doubt that happens, hopefully they make a play for Grimes.

I'm iffy on Grimes. Signing a corner coming off an achilles injury is pretty dicey.

Kind of off topic, and I know I've posted her tweets, but Mary Kay Cabot is THE worst. I saw the other day where she got one of her "scoops" from her sons high school friend who tweeted it. She then re-tweeted it. Grossi may be bad but MKC is the worst.

I was reading over his stats last night. Damn that is some production. Imagine if Cleveland made a play for him. Gordon and Alexander on the outside with Little in the slot and Davis lined us as a TE.

Well before his injury he was top notch. But we need somebody opposite of Haden. Skrine will not cut it, and as of right now he is slotted for the number 2. Yikes.

Skrine at #2...might set the record for the most PI calls in a season.

I was reading on the OBR that the new FO wasn't high on Skrine at all. They liked him has a slot or dime back.

I read that as well. Doesn't leave us in a pretty position at this point with him as our number 2
