Which FA Will We Sign After June 1?

if any?

there are a couple of guys still out there, and i'm sure that there will be a few more after June 1st.

imo, in terms of need and team chemistry, i'd like to see us add depth and talent at WR and OT:

Koren Robinson - his alcohol problems are now two years behind him and he does have talent. he'd be a great addition on special teams as well.

Shane Olivea - this guy is still young and he is clearly better than the options we have at RT when he's healthy.

both guys wouldn't break the bank and if we have the cap room, they'd be nice.

How about a couple of defensive tackles? I'm not sold on the ones we have.

I read where Olivea has committed to a team, will be announced after 6/1 so I have to assume its a team that's up against the cut. The Jets were named as a possible suitor.

I think Robinson is a distinct possibility as well as Odell Thurman. I suspect we'll also bring in Gravy for one last hurrah. I wouldn't hold my breath for any DT's of any note.

The acquistion or KR would be a sign JLH and the other young receivers aren't coming along as hoped.

With the history of our projected starters, injury seems a foregone conclusion and one if not more of the reserves will likley be called into action.

If Lofton, Davis and Kiffin don't feel comfortable with them as likely contributors they may indeed seek Robinson's aid.

He might be a solid veteran addition, but it wouldn't bode well for the immediate future of our young back ups.

Not necessarily, KR is a proven commodity. Aside from the substance abuse issues, he's a good baller. Weve got some good veteran talent, but an above average talent is another story IMO. KR exceeds above average talent IMO.

I'd say the raiders should bring in Ezra butler after being released from the 49ers, he is worth the shot if he can stay out of trouble, same goes to Thurman
