The team has already said that Harris is gonna play SAM and they aren't being shy about letting folks know that Cowart is the immediate starter at MLB.

actually, give him a chance in the green bay offense, I think he will excel there. I followed him at Hawaii in his years there, awesome guard . he did hit the injury bug in NE but me thinks GB is a perfect fit for him.

The Bears signed Roberto Garza today. I missed the failed physical with the Ravens, but my impression of Garza is that he's decent. I'm happy to have anyone but Rex Tuckers brokedown body at guard, but this may be more of the same.

Packers also passed on him because he has no ACL in one of his knees.

Well, I guess the upside to that is that he can't tear or strain the ACL on that knee...

They didn't grow a brain, they were just given the ability to spend this year. Quote:
I wouldn't be surprised to use the 3-4 in some situations, but I would be surprised if their base D isn't the 4-3. Pat Williams would be a good fit as a 3-4 NT, but Udeze and Kevin Williams wouldn't likely be ideally suited for the 4-3. K.Williams would likely do well as a 3-4 end, but he's much more valuable rushing the passer from the inside. The line was the strength on defense last year, and I think it will continue to be the strongest unit on their defense with Scott, Williams, Williams, and Udeze starting, with Johnstone taking over for Scott in passing situations. As far as Harris, he was an OLB in college, and will likely end up playing SLB, with Cowart as MLB, and Thomas likely at WLB for now, though if Raonall Smith is able to play he may get a chance to start.

Mon, 21 Mar 2005 08:12:32 -0800 ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Atlanta Falcons have reached a six-year contract agreement with free agent LB Ed Hartwell (Ravens). The deal totals $24.25 million and includes an $8 million signing bonus. There are additional base salary guarantees in the first three seasons of the contract. The deal will pay Hartwell $10 million in its first two years and $13.25 million over the first three seasons. |

"Hartwell, 26, has started at inside linebacker in Baltimore's 3-4 front the past three years, but considers himself a pure 4-3 middle 'backer. His addition means that the Falcons will likely have two new starters in 2005. Keith Brooking, a perennial Pro Bowl performer, will likely remain on the weak side. Second-year pro Demorrio Williams, mostly used as a "nickel" linebacker in 2004, is projected as the strongside starter. Hartwell will bump Chris Draft from the middle spot." |

Raiders sign FB Rob Konrad to a 1 year deal.
Ravens match the 1 year $3 million offer sheet for RB Chester Taylor. Travis Henry says he will not return to the Bills. Not FA related but the NFL has announced the first 3 national televised games. Oakland at New England Thursday Sept. 8 Indianapolis at Baltimore Sunday Sept. 11 Atlanta at Philadelphia Monday Sept. 12 Oakland/NE should be a very interesting game. |

as i remember it, he had moved outside 2 years ago, and wasnt as effective. so last season, he moved back inside. there was also an ill-fated switch to 3-4 at some point, but i dont know when that was. im confused by this signing though. unless im very wrong, i couldve sworn brooking moved back inside because he fit better there than outside. but like i said, the 3-4 must have had something to do with it. |

Packers signed OG Matt O'Dwyer to a minimum salary deal. He's been a starter up until last year when he got injured. Overall, he's started 105 NFL games. He checked out health wise and should give GB some additional flexibility at guard.
If you look at the big picture, GB declined to pay over $20 million in SB to resign Wahle and Rivera, instead signing Klemm and O'Dwyer for a combined SB of 825K. This leaves some money to look at filling the holes at LB and safety. |

Yes it does... But having some money to spend but nothing to buy isn't all that helpful. I guess it's possible a veteran here or there may shake free post June 1, but it's not all that likely and even if one were, he probably wont be worth the money. I guess they could be looking "down the road" to next year, but so long as you have Favre looking to "next year" doesn't seem all that sound. They should be trying to put together a winning team each year. Still, saving all that money isn't a bad thing. Both Wahle and Rivera commanded pretty huge contracts.

An honest question: why did the Packers sign O'Dwyer coming off an injury but passed on Garza? Their track record sounds simliar.

Agreed on both points. I'm happy the Packers were able to save a bunch of cap space by letting their guards go, but it would've been nice if they had gotten into the bidding (much) earlier for defensive talent. Given the relative lack of available FA talent, I'm guessing that us Packers fans will have to hope that a change of defensive schemes will work miracles! |

I heard Rice on an interview on a local sports talk show, and he said that he would like to play one more year, but he wants to be a #1 or #2 receiver. He said he would be a #3 or #4 only for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. He hinted that no team is meeting this criteria, and that he is likely to retire. However, he is still hoping an opportunity opens up.

Did the Broncos wait until Dayne signed a 1-day deal with Cleveland before signing him?
Interesting signing. I'm wondering if Shanahan has completely given up on winning games, and is just using the Broncos as a lab for proving that he can take any fuckup off the street and turn him into the next 1,000 yard rusher.

Wow, the most intellectually advanced front office...just signed Terrell!!! All I can figure is that Brady thinks he and Terrell can hook up just like they did back at Michigan, and it's only a one-year deal, so what the hell... But this, of course, completely overlooks the fact that Terrell can't run routes or catch. You know, the little things WRs are supposed to be able to do. Wow.

As founder and co-president of the David Terrell Bandwagon Express, we support the actions of Scott Pioli and the rest of the New England Patriots front office for showing faith in David. It will be re-paid tenfold. David can't be held responsible for the crappy offensive play calling and poorous QBing he was forced to suffer during his time in Chicago. That's a YP not a DP.

Douglas was quietly a steady performer in Baltimore, especially for a 3-4 defensive end. He averaged 80 total tackles and five sacks a year during the last two seasons (SF49ers.com)
