I get your sarcasm, but that's not what this is about. Sorry that I mainly listed Cowboys examples which made you think that I only wanted to talk about the Cowboys, but I just went off of what I knew from the top of my head. I knew there were many other examples out there for many other teams and I thought it would be a cool exercise to see think linkages out there which could help predict how this offseason could potentially go.
killswitch got the point. Solid list!

Jon Gruden, Cowboys, basically assembled his whole former staff to lure him out of the booth. Maybe Jerry should put a call in to see what Dexter Jackson is up to these days.

I'll assume you are too stupid to bother typing out a serious post to explain this to you.

Dallas Cowboys cap space: $-18.2 million .
New Orleans Saints cap space: $-14.7 million .
Henry Melton's getting franchised if he can't be extended, son.

Yeah, there's no way I think the Cowboys are even going to target him.
Maybe I should've said "for example" instead of "ie".
Barber will probably retire or stay with the Bucs. Saints don't have the money to go for Spencer either. Those were just examples. Cool down my friend.

I really don't see Pitt giving Bowe the kinda money he is going to want. I see him going to the highest bidder.

im holding out hope that every dime they stiffed wallace on is going to be going towards luring bowe in.
Bowe would have a brandon marshall-esque year with roethlisberger, he would simply be fed the ball

Sadly, this is true. Hopefully his market isn't ridiculous. He's better than PFF numbers say he is, but he's certainly not a franchise LT. Give me Will Beatty any day.
Justin Durant and Derek Cox played under Mel Tucker I think. If some team wants to give us a second for Tim Jennings, I'll happily take Derek Cox just so I can hear the announcer say that a receiver was "covered by Cox."

No way he isn't franchised. Solid LT's never ever reach FA.

New Orleans can't afford to keep him or Franchise him. They have cap problems.

1. NO can't afford to franchise anyone.
2. Bushrod is only an average LT who's going to get paid like an elite one. His play last season was comparable to the LT the Bears already have.
3. The Bears may be able to get him in under the cap this season, but they really can't afford the contract he's going to get in the two years following, anyway. No one with any knowledge of the cap situation thinks CHI would sign a marquee LT this season.
4. I guarantee multiple solid LTs hit FA this season. There are just too many with their contracts coming up on teams in cap trouble. See: Beatty, Will / Dunlap, King / Baker, Sam.

Perry Fewell was DB coach for the one and only season he was in the same city as Urlacher, a linebacker. He never dealt with him. Don't know why the Giants would want him, anyway.

I would hate for us to get Anthony Spencer personally. He would want money I wouldn't want to spend on him.
