If Ginn is use only as a return specialist, I believe he'd be more productive.

[h3]Sharper biding his time[/h3]
8:46AM ET
[h5]Darren Sharper | Saints | Interested: ********?, Chargers?, Eagles?, Jets?, Saints?, Dolphins?, Chiefs?, Texans?, Cowboys?, Bears?[/h5]
Last time we talked about unrestricted free agent safety Darren Sharper, we were amazed at how long but distinguished the list of his allegedly interested suitors had become (up to ten teams, by our count). With the draft just days away, it now looks like the earlier hypothesis is also correct: Sharper is in the same boat as Terrell Owens and other veteran free agents who will wait to sign a new deal after the draft, perhaps with a team that misses out on drafting their position.
Speaking at a pre-draft news conference, New Orleans Saints GM Mickey Loomis addressed Sharper directly: "I'm not optimistic or pessimistic. We'll see how that plays out," Loomis said, per the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "We have a specific idea of what we want to pay Darren," he continued. "But if another team offers a big contract, I'll be happy for him, just like I was happy for Scott Fujita (when he signed with the Cleveland Browns). (Sharper) has expressed pretty clearly that he'd prefer to be back with the Saints. But I understand he wants to maximize his earnings."
In addition to the Saints, we've heard rumblings of various magnitudes that the ********, Chargers, Cowboys, Bears, Dolphins, Chiefs, Texans, Jets and Eagles are all interested in Sharper. The Jets might be taken out of the running due to their "final four" status and what happens with Jason Taylor this week, but all the rest appear to still be in play.
If Sharper doesn't sign with a team by July 22 (I believe), that "final eight" restriction no longer applies and the Jets can sign UFA as they please.
Jets are still waiting on Jason Taylor's decision, and that should, hopefully, happen this week... if he doesn't sign, Mark Brunell is reported as the next player they'd go after (bye bye K. Clemens), then Sharper.
I think the max we can offer any player now is 2 years, $3.3 mill.

Smart Lions, Pettigrew tore his ACL last year i believe..... Theres no knowing how hes gonna come back.... he can come back and be a pro bowler or come back and not do $%++, Stafford needs as many weapons as possible....
Sims had a year left on his contract, theres no guarantee hes gonna sign back with the lions, so why not get something while you can instead of lettin duke walk...

yea i forgot about that....i mean we have a good amount of picks may be we can make something happened....a 5th for sims is really solid and we wouldnt have gotten someone this solid in that round

iggles got the better of that deal.
I understand the Lions part
DEN got the least favorable part but I like it because you can get late 3rd Rd - 4th Rd value in the 5th Rd because this draft is deep

- Trading his 2nd round pick for a DB, who would've been there in the 5th round.
- A $%%$*!% top 15 pick used on a RB last year, when he went out and signed 3 FAs. And his defense was ranked 27th at the time. Dude is a clown.

I remember after Donovan first got traded, someone half-jokingly said that the Skins should now go after TO.
Well, fantasy could suddenly be reality.
Makes sense too.
McNabb wants a receiver he has some sort of rhythm with. TO gets to be alpha dog again.
Win-win, no?

I don't even care....they've already made the indication that they wanna win now with McNabb and I imagine TO would be cheap and 1st sign of stupidity, cut him. So what the hell....
