The guy that I missed on that list the first time is Marc Colombo from DAL.
He's the Bears first-rounder from '02 or '03 who blew out his knee and got cut. He ended up in DAL and has played a decent to good RT from what I've gathered.
He'd be a guy worth pursuing if we could get him relatively cheap. He'd push Shaffer and add depth. A Hadnot-type pickup, maybe even better.
I was hoping he'd slip into free agency as well. Unfortunately, Dallas quietly signed him to a contract extension last month.

It did seem a little too good to be true.
And he would have been worth it at $8 mil.
Crap

Think positive, Juki. Now, we'll have a chance to get an even better guy in the draft. And for much cheaper.
Then again, that'd require us having a GM who knows what he's doing. Or at least one who can get along with Mangini

Our wide recieving corps was a disgusting mess last year.. I'll give Braylon and Stallworth a pass for last year as i think they can bounce back .. i think these were fluke type years based upon history... Joe J....stick a fork in him.. he's done.. Steptoe is worthless as was everyone behind him...
Ok.. that was the complaint..here is the solution.. Bring in 3 of these 5 guys to compete for the 3,4,5 spots.. (I love lance moore but he will get a #2 spot vs coming here for a 3 so I am not sure we can get him)....
Ok... Hank Baskett, Bryant Johnson, Brandon Jones, Dane Looker, and Roscoe Parrish.. None of them are the superstars but all are more than capable of being the 3,4,5 spots we need and can fill in as starter if/when needed.. This was Savage's biggest blunder last year.. There was no expericed depth at recieve and it killed us when stallworth and JJ went out.. The fact that we knew jj was out before the season even started was completely overlooked by savage.. Inexcusable... We cannot make that mistake again.. as even with a year of experience for Steptoe.. he's still worthless

This would make sense if Stallworth was a #2 quality receiver.

PFW brings up a guy we could poach from a division rival:
With unrestricted free agency pending for Steelers WR Nate Washington, the club is left with an interesting decision on its hands, a source close to the club suggests. Washington is not a starter, but heโs one of the more dangerous No. 3 receivers in the game, and heโs averaged better than 15 yards a catch in each of the last three seasons. The way we hear it, whether the Steelers bring back Washington could very well depend on their faith in WR Limas Sweed to show more as a second-year player than he did as a rookie. Sweed caught only six passes in 11 games in 2008, and he fumbled a pair of times.
Washington had 40 catches for 631 yards and 3 TD's this year.
