War Room's Top 99 Free Agents for '07

The problem with the "we have money" idea is that ALL the teams have money. Plus some teams are paying their HC $5-8 Million/year and still have money to burn (cash)...Al doesn't apparently. Al has to dish out dead cash to Fat Albert ($2 Million) and he's probably adding that to the amount he is willing to pay a HC...that's a problem.

Anyway, my point is that a lot of teams are going to be overpaying this off season and given the choice of say Jacksonville and Oakland what would you do assuming the money is even close?

LMFAO, funny shit there (and well timed)
 
Like Bones said, with the TV deals coming in so lucrative, and the cap going into the 110 million range, everyone will have money.

They'll then get to decide which messes to avoid.

We're a mess.
 
These ranking's blow, no offense. I thought it was funny how low Jared Allen was, and Michael Lewis/Deilman. I actually have a theory that the Eagles gave S.Considine a chance to play safety so they could re-seign M.Lewis cheaper and evaluate the new guy replacing Dawkins... the team had a awful run defense and Michael Lewis is a monster run support guy and a hardhitter in the secondary, he got torched in one game and got benched? anyway

I would Like to score O-Lineman like Starks/Steinbach/L.Davis, and a DE like J.Thomas/C.Grant/Little. Stallworth would be great if we got rid of Moss and/or Porter. AL will be impressed with Stallworth's speed and wont mind his injury bug. Another guy like that AL might like is Ahman Green.
 
Adalius Thomas can play alot of postions he is very versitile. He has played DE/DT for the Ravens as well as OLB. Im not sure if it is true but ive heard he has even played at safety in certin formations. The only problem with this is guy is he post 30. He can sack tackle and do it all. He has good speed too. He will be making slightly less than Lance Briggs.
 
I agree about Jared Allen and Dielman, but Michael Lewis is an overrated piece of trash.

He's Derrick Gibson with a bit more instincts, and he plays beside Lito Sheppard, and Brian Dawkins...

That 2005 Pro Bowl vote was hogwash. Adrian Wilson, Sean Taylor and Gibril Wilson would have been better choices.

I dunno, but I would be pissed if we signed Michael Lewis to some silly 3 year 12-15 mil. contract, and relegated Shweig to the bench.
 
I live with an Eagles fan, and I have watched alot of Eagles games(when Oakland isnt on of course) and Michael Lewis is def not trash. He can rock people and instill fear in Wr's. He also can tackle as well as any SS. He is flawed in coverage sometimes but its not like he hasnt played very well in big games. I think the Eagles new he was going to get a contract they wouldnt pay, which happens all the time with them(Trotter, T.Vincent, H.Douglas, D.Staley,Bobby Taylor, S.Barber etc.) and started their future guy who comes cheaper next season. Philly is a great organization when it comes to player moves. They dont overpay very often and they let system guys go and re-sign them two years later for minimum and get production. Michael Lewis doesnt deserve a big contract if he has legit coverage issues, im just not sure if that is the case. He is the opposite of Stu ability wise and would fit in nicely here if packaged correctly with Huff and Stu. Michael Lewis at SS and Huff at FS for running downs and Stu and Huff for passing downs, it might help our run stopping. I dont wanna overpay for him but i think he would be a nice pick-up and some team will appreciate his ability to rock wideouts senseless and play like a LB against the run. I just think he will make more money than alot of the other 90 guys ahead of him.
 
A guy who can play up at the line but can't cover in space... sure sounds like the second coming of Derrick Gibson to me.
 
This guy already made the pro-bowl and has had many productive seasons. How is that Derrick Gibson?

*M.Lewis wasnt a first round bust either
 
I can't really claim to be an expert on the guy, was just going off of what you wrote:

Your description reminded me of Derrick Gibson, that's all.
 
I've watched my share of Philly games, and I don't know what people see in the guy, personally.

He is definitely overrated, and like I stated in my post earlier he didnt deserve that Pro Bowl spot at all.

Wilson, Taylor and Gibril Wilson all had more big plays, and are better in coverage.

He was on that 'vaunted' Philly secondary, with Sheppard, Dawkins and Sheldon Brown, so everyone thought all four should be Pro Bowlers.

Not a direction I want to go in the offseason. We've spent enough money and draft dollars on the secondary, no?

Tron, overall I bet you've seen him more than me, although I've watched my fair share...But signing Lewis to a lucrative contract (Which he'll command; Think Tank Williams/Reynaldo Hill type money) to be a 2-3 down run stopper is silly, IMO.

Well at first I was just saying his ranking was low not that we should sign him. We really need to concentrate on offense with the draft and our cap room. But if he is 99th then he wouldnt be getting a very large contract as a safety who just got benched and let walk. We do have a poor run defense and as much as i like Stu and Huff they arent exactly scarring RB or Wr's back there very much and thats the only thing i feel our secondary lacks right now. But anyway i agree spending good money on this guy wouldnt be very high on the list at all. But i do feel he is young and has upside and will be a good pick up for somebody next season. If he can stop the mental lapses in pass coverage.
 
Not a big Stu fan either, but I'd rather throw FA dollars at a DE. Tyler Brayton is a stiff out there. ZERO sacks from a starting DE? Bwahahahahahahaha
