Free Agent Guards that may be available

[SteelDad]

Any of those guys would be an upgrade but we have to see just what kind of money we are playing with when FA rolls around.

[Mr. Goosemahn]

Nicks or Grubbs would be incredible, but there's no way we can sign them with our cap situation.

I wouldn't mind Miami's Vernon Carey or Buffalo's Kraig Urbik (RFA though). Carey is big and somewhat old (30), but solid. And yes, I know Urbik failed with us, but he was surprisingly competent for Buffalo this year. Not great, but better than Foster. For what it's worth, if you care about Pro Football Focus and their stats (I personally don't, but some do), Urbik was a top 20 guard this season.

Free AGent ILB Channing Crowder took a year off and said he's coming back to NFL. Should we sign him? Infact they can sign him now because he wasn't on a team last year.

I don't know anything about him, but if he's an upgrade over Sylvester, I say go for it.

I'm not giving up on Sylvester yet. No matter how good he was he wasn't going to unseat James Farrior and more than likely not Larry Foote either. This is going to be his time to shine now coming up in his 3rd season.

This might be a year that surprises us with free agency. I know it sounds crazy but considering who they may have to cut, getting some free agents might be not be a bad idea. If you're going to bite the bullet, you might as well bite it hard.
