The Bolts can always count on an undrafted free agent making a contribution. Last year, it was Jyles Tucker (3.5 sacks, 2 FF, 1 TD). In 2007, it was Steve Gregory (12 tackles and a pass breakup). Who will emerge from this year’s pack? Team expert Michael Lombardo breaks down the five leading candidates with the help of former pro scout Tom Marino.
The Chargers have a reputation for developing undrafted free agents, with three such players earning Pro Bowl invites last season: Antonio Gates, Kris Dielman, Kassim Osgood. This year's rookie class took notice, with 17 undrafted players choosing to continue their careers in San Diego.
The following contracts will be expiring at the end of the 2008 season:Jason Giambi - $21mmBobby Abreau - $16mmAndy Pettitte - $16mmCarl Pavano - $10mmMike Mussina - $11.5mmKyle Farnsworth - $5.5mmTotal - $80 million.(You think CC's agent knew this when he broke off talks with the Indians?)There are some pretty interesting names that are currently headed for the '08 free agent class; some names the Yanks may have interest in:Mark TexieraTex will be 29 at the start of the '09 season and is a perfect fit for the Yanks. A switch hitting, great glove power-hitting first baseman? Sign him up - (anticipated Yankee contract - $18mm AAV x 6yrs)Hank BlalockIn the event we can't sign Tex, Blalock would be a fair backup plan.CC SabathiaUmm...28, lefty, Cy Young winner, 200+ ip per year, no injury his
We don't really have a whole lot. In fact, we have four...Anders Eriksson, Bryan Berard, Brian Boucher, and Jamie Pushor. The only one I really feel that we need to re-sign is Anders Eriksson, who lead the team in plus/minus with a +12. Which, compared to other teams is good but not great. But, on my team, is AMAZING. Eriksson averaged 20:12 time on ice. In 79 games played he had 0 goals (hey
The Steelers waited until Denver signed or traded for every available impact player on the market and have decided they ought to bring in a player or two to visit our fine city. First up is Patriot LB Tully Banta-Cain, a four-yet vet and one-year starter who amassed 5.5 sacks last season. So let me get this straight...the Patriots get Adalius Thomas, somone else gets Joey Porter, and the Steelers get Tully Banta-Cain? That sounds like a crappy game of free agent musical chairs to me. Of course, I'm being cynical, because the Steelers' personnel decisions are usually A-OK with me. Besides, Tully Banta-Cain might not be all that bad. He's not only the cousin of former SF Giant Jeffrey "One Flap Down" Leonard, but he's also the cousin of NBA forward Rodney Rogers. That fact is so impressive, the Patriots actually mention it twice on his official bio. The Steelers also entertained former Pitt punter Andy Lee for a visit. Given the fact that Lee spent four years here, he probably has
With free agency looming, I thought it'd be interesting to take a look at some guys that in my opinion would look very good in a Miami Dolphins uniform.Leonard Davis, OT, Arizona CardinalsMiami's offensive line has made strides under line coach Hudson Houck but there's still plenty of room for improvement and especially at left tackle, where Damion McIntosh has been one of the worst starters in the league. If the Cardinals don't manage to hold on to their massive tackle Davis, he would be a very nice fit on the left side of Miami's line. With Davis and Vernon Carey on the outside, Miami would have a very nice foundation to build around on the o-line.Adalius Thomas, LB, Baltimore RavensAdalius Thomas is probably the most versatile defender in all of football, having played every single position on defense and that should make him a hot commodity come free agency. Zach Thomas is still on top of his game and should still be able to give 2 or 3 quality seasons. Channing Crowder is on
