CBS SPORTSLINE.COM TOP 50 FREE AGENTS

Anyone know about #39. Rod Hood, CB, Philadelphia Eagles: He has been a solid nickel back, but at 25 it might be time for him to get a look as a starter. If not, a team in need of a third corner should give him a look.

I don't know much about him, but the last nickel back we got from the eagles turned out to be pretty good, and the plus side this guy is young yet.

I didn't even know Hood was a FA until I saw this list. He's an interesting prospect that I don't think will command a ton of money. He'd be a great nickelback and could fill in as a starter if needed (much better than Dendy). I believe he's got some punt/kick return ability too. I'd like to see the Pack go after him, but I think Hood wants to be a fulltime starter. With the money locked up in Harris and Woodson at the position, I don't think TT is going to look at too many higher tiered CBs.

WHO IS GREEN BAY CALLING ?

NOBODY.

TT gets nervous in a press conference, and really nervous on a telephone.

I'd love to get Roderick Hood. I seem him almost like Al Harris when he left Philadelphia.

The agents for players "rumored" to interest the Packers have all said that they haven't even gotten a call from the Packers. That's a bit disappointing.

He's not on the list, but


Falcons sign former Ravens FB Mughelli

More from Espn.

On Friday, the Falcons reached a six-year, $18 million deal with Ravens fullback Ovie Mughelli that included a $5 million signing bonus. The blockbuster deal is the biggest contract given to a pure fullback.

I would throw starter money and him and Grant. Those would be two excellent acquisitions and we would have an excellent defense.

[HarveyWallbangers]

You know contracts are getting whacky when an average FB gets a 6y/$18M contract.

That can't be much more than what Thompson was offering Ahman. If this guy is a $3M/year player, than give Ahman $5-6M/year and move on.

What about a back like T.J. Duckett to pair up with Morency. I think that would be a good 1-2 punch and that should help our short yardage. Duckett shouldn't be too expensive. He's been in the ZBS and was very successful in short yardage in Atlanta, he would instantly help our redzone and short yardage game. Not to mention there's not much wear and tear on his body, from being a PT player.

2. Eric Steinbach, G.

Cleveland Browns John clayton just reported, I believe he said 7yrs 49.5 mil.

[Scott Campbell]

The first few days of free agency are when all the crazy money usually gets spent.

[chain_gang]

5. Derrick Dockery, G, reported by John Clayton has agreed to a 7yr 49 mill dollar range contract will the buffalo bills.



Here's a link I found

I like Dockery, and felt he should have been higher on the available OGs list. Apparently, Buffalo agrees with me.

[chain_gang]

Yeah Dockery's a good one that's for sure. Still can't believe the money guards are getting nowadays. Makes Wahle going to Carolina look like a Bargain.

Two years ago we tried to trade for him for Fergy straight up. He would be an upgrade over Dendy and is an ace special teamer. I'd like to see us grab him but he wouldn't want to sign with us to be a nickel when someone else will offer a starting job and more $$.

Alright, damn was hoping he'd be alright playing nickel at least another year, and then possibly, sliding him in to the starting slot next year.

[J-Rok]

Um, I wouldn't pay attention to this list. It's obviously biased. I wasn't listed in the top 20, let alone the top 10 like I should be.
