Not really, big body guy with some physical talent (he was a third rounder) and some level of production at the NFL level. Wouldn't fit bad if he can ball on ST.

Shelton was a high pick. Could be a short yardage guy that might have a chance.

Like to see westbrook, Eubanks, and Mason back. Shelton and Wallace interest me...Shelton because I remmeber him coming out of college and Wallace because he has experience in a great defense of pittsburgh.

Eubanks was a huge disappointment last year after a promising start.

If rock leaves fro greener pastures Mason could make the squaad
Westbrook...well he cant be worse then torrance

I just cant get excited about free agent signing in January when we dont even have a HC

i dunno i thik Eubanks and Torrence could become something. But im suprised they moved Eubanks up before Westbrook

remember, Rogers wasnt that great his first year, and we saw a drastic change in his play the next year..

uhm rogers was a top 10 draft pick...he is supposed to have untapped potential..

Ufas dont progress that much for the most part.

Torrence is a speed demon Williams fell in love with I doubt he is on the squad next year...but you need someone to tackle in camp so welcome back

id rather have Torrence and than Eubanks

like ive said before, what happened to Garnell Wilds?

He stinks. He was given every opportunity in Carolina to take over when Stephen Davis left and he proved that despite his size he's not physical, fumbles often and apparently couldn't retain the playbook. He was stashed on IR his first year with a dubious 'ankle injury' in the hopes that he needed a year to grow up, but it never happened.

heyer did well...is he a long term NFl starter...maybe, but he could easily regress after year 1 or fail to progress enough and be replaced.

And If Wilds was good, he would be in the league, he isn't., what does that tell you?

and Chris Wilson...

Chris Wilson played a little in the CFL though didn't he? and again, he is a situational pass rusher and still could be a one year wonder.

Jusry is out on both of them.

I agree, more often then not the UFA's go no where..but its fun to watch over some of them and see what they can do...sometimes it pans out.

I seem to remember Garnell Wilds shutting down Randy Moss the last game of the season in Joes first year back, we gave up on him much too early.

of that group only Pierce his a proven NFL commodity, the jury is still out on the rest

I seem to remember Garnell Wilds shutting down Randy Moss the last game of the season in Joes first year back, we gave up on him much too early.

I thought so too, but where is he now? He went to carolina and got cut/ This was probably more a case of Moss not caring on the last game of the season then Wilds actually shutting him down

I wouldn't bank on any undrafted FAs. But it never hurts to have competition in camp. Might find a gem.

I love the Eric Shelton pickup and the Billy McMullen one has some potenial. I think both of these players never got a fair shake in the League.

shelton reminds me of duckett or a better version of nemo.

big big body but takes too long to hit the hole and does not seem to have much vision or footwork

still, he is certainly someone worth looking at in camp

mcmullen ? what are they thinking ?
