Maybe. One of them is Jacob Tamme (TE, Colts):

i'm still fairly ok with that one ex-colt.

agree on bunkley.

think porter is a #3 corner at this point. which is still a step up from goodman, i guess.

Timbathia · 03-21-2012, 04:16 AM

Heard we are close with Bunkley. Hope true.

Porter would be a great addition. And pretty sure our interest in LBs has fizzled after the Mays / Woodyard re-signings.

Either Elway or Xanders ( can't remember which) mentioned this on the radio. Apparently the looming suspension to DJ was a concern, which is why they were quick to resign Mays and WW.

Flipping our 7th for a 6th was nice too.

I'm a little unclear on what picks we have now. I looks like:

1, 2, 3, 4 (Jets), 4, 5 (Rams), 5, 6

However, I believe we owe Cleveland a pick. Can it be the 6th we just acquired? It has a higher draft position than our original 6th.

Bad loss. Not good.

njx9 · 03-21-2012, 03:47 PM

don't care, traded tebow.

that's not entirely true, but for right this moment it is.

Diehard · 03-21-2012, 04:21 PM

More FA action:

QB Caleb Hanie signed - new backup
DE/LB Cyril Obiozor signed - pass rusher for practice squad
CB Tracy Porter *not* signed - due to Saints mess w/ possible suspension
WR Andre Caldwell visiting today - potential #3
C Jeff Saturday - visiting tomorrow - starter
TE Mathew Mulligan visiting - blocker

Have not heard this.. You sure? I hope not.

Andre Caldwell has been signed.

I respectfully disagree. Hanie has shown he is not even capable of being a backup in this league. We never saw enough of Quinn to say the same.

that's not even remotely true, unless you didn't see him in cleveland or in the preseason. think whatever you want about hanie, brady quinn was the worst nfl quarterback i have ever seen in my life.

I saw him in the preseason and in Cleveland, but I never saw him take a regular season snap here. I saw plenty of Hanie last year, and he let the entire Bears organization down when they needed him most. Remember, he got replaced by Josh McCown, who was out of the league.

He was added to our roster on NFL.com when I checked earlier... but now they've taken him out again. Something fishy is going on here - false report by NFLN?

Poor accuracy and panicking under pressure is a bad combination.

i have no idea what that would've changed. he has no accuracy, he's terrified to play the position, he can't make a read. he can't even routinely complete dump offs and hitches. he's ******* terrible. there isn't actually a single thing he does well. if hanie can't hack it in the preseason, i have no doubt he'll be gone.

My exact thoughts on Hanie, actually. I was just giving Brady the benefit of the doubt.

Either way, we still need another legitimate QB to backup Manning. Hanie doesn't fit the bill.
