Should They Stay Or Go?

Should They Stay Or Go?

Your turn to be a G.M. Addicts, what follows is a list of our upcoming free agents and whether they will be restricted or unrestricted. (We will delve into the CBA and how it affects free agency much later in the offseason) Should they stay or go? Tell us why. Sound off!

QB Brodie Croyle RFA
RB Jackie Battle RFA
RB Gilbert Harris RFA
RB Kolby Smith RFA
WR Chris Chambers UFA
WR Bobby Wade UFA
TE Leonard Pope UFA
RT Ryan O’Callaghan RFA
C Rudy Niswanger RFA
LB Derrick Johnson RFA
LB Mike Vrabel UFA
LB Corey Mays RFA
S Jarrad Page RFA

With the exception of Bobby Wade I believe all of these players will be offered contracts. I actually would not mind letting Mike Vrabel go. He is getting long in the tooth, big on the salary, and little in production.

I'd of given Wade a ticket (coach) home after the Donkey game ... call him iron hands. Terrible player

D,

Ain't no thang baby, ain't no thang.

Matt,

My bad. For some reason, I was thinking Pope was already in his 30s. In that case, I'd be okay with keeping him on in a Jason Dunn type role.

Jeremy,

I don't know if you saw this, but in the Denver game when Cassel threw the INT did you see the route Wade was running? He never even looked back to find the ball, he just kept going right between the 2 defenders and then looked clueless as to what happened after the pick. Cassel threw it, and Wade just ran right by it. It was pitiful.

I agree matt. Pope is younf and so is cottam they can improve.

Wade has to go, too slow, too many drops.

Double D,

Pope won't be hitting a wall anytime soon. He's 26... Cottam is 25. No point in getting rid of him.

I agree on Wade though. He's a tool and should be cast aside. He's rubbish.

Draft Kerry Meier as Bobby Wade's replacement.

QB Brodie Croyle- Go. Draft Tony Pike.
RB Jackie Battle - Keep - we need his punishing style.
RB Gilbert Harris - Who?
RB Kolby Smith- Go. He's getting up there and he hasn't stayed healthy.
WR Chris Chambers- He'll sign elsewhere. Draft a fast wideout who can also return kicks (Jacoby Ford).
WR Bobby Wade- He's gonna hit the wall anyday - upgrade.
TE Leonard Pope- Same as Wade. Develop Cottam or draft another.
RT Ryan O’Callagham- Keep as backup but also draft another in 3rd or 4th round (Sam Young?)
C Rudy Niswanger- Keep if no other reason than backup.
LB Derrick Johnson- Keep
LB Mike Vrabel- Keep but also draft his replacement (George Selvie?)
LB Corey Mays- Keep as situational player
S Jarrad Page- Keep

Frankie you crack me up.

I made a mistake.

I saw Ryan O'Callahan and I though Sean Ryan.

Wrong Irishman. You think I'd be able to tell them apart.

I love O'Callahan. I thought he did a fantastic job, actually. I can't recall him getting smoked too much. I like the kid.

The more kick ass Irish players we can get the better.

QB Brodie Croyle RFA - Needs to stay
RB Jackie Battle RFA - coinflip, but stay
RB Gilbert Harris RFA - bye bye
RB Kolby Smith RFA - if he wants the league min. stay
WR Chris Chambers UFA - Stay
WR Bobby Wade UFA - Can't leave fast enough
TE Leonard Pope UFA - get out
RT Ryan O’Callaghan RFA - stay
C Rudy Niswanger RFA - GTFO
LB Derrick Johnson RFA - STAY
LB Mike Vrabel UFA - stay
LB Corey Mays RFA - stay
S Jarrad Page RFA - stay

QB Brodie Croyle, stay will be nothing more than a backup anywhere
RB Jackie Battle go
RB Gilbert Harris go
RB Kolby Smith go
WR Chris Chambers stay
WR Bobby Wade stay
TE Leonard Pope stay
RT Ryan O’Callaghan stay
C Rudy Niswanger stay
LB Derrick Johnson definately stay
LB Mike Vrabel definately stay
LB Corey Mays stay, a decent backup
S Jarrad Page stay

QB Brodie Croyle Stay. He's been a serviceable backup and I don't know what else we can get on the FA market yet.
RB Jackie Battle Go. I have not seen much of anything from Battle -- I wanted him cut in the pre-season.
RB Gilbert Harris Much like Pat... Who?
RB Kolby Smith Go. We need to get a true power back behind Jamaal Charles.
WR Chris Chambers Stay. There is no reason to get rid of such a good WR when we are seriously lacking.
WR Bobby Wade Go.
TE Leonard Pope Stay.
RT Ryan O’Callaghan Stay.
C Rudy Niswanger Go.
LB Derrick Johnson Stay.
LB Mike Vrabel Stay. He's a great mentor to a young group of LBs
LB Corey Mays Stay. I really think Mays can develop into a fine LB.
S Jarrad Page Stay.

QB Brodie Croyle – Decent back-up if he can stay healthy.
RB Jackie Battle – Could stay/go. I don't think it would change much.
RB Gilbert Harris – Never heard of him.
RB Kolby Smith – Same as Battle. Kinda dissapointing cause it seemed like he had potential.
WR Chris Chambers – Stay, he can at least catch the ball.
WR Bobby Wade – Kick his ass to the curb as fast as possible. Attitude is all wrong, and production doesn't give him the benefit of the doubt. Get rid of him.
TE Leonard Pope – Stay. He and Cottam could make a nice little duo.
RT Ryan O’Callaghan – Stay. He played well at RT. An immediate upgrade isn't necessary.
C Rudy Niswanger – Back-up
LB Derrick Johnson – Stay.
LB Mike Vrabel – Stay.
LB Corey Mays – Stay.
S Jarrad Page – Stay. He plays well when he's in.

QB Brodie Croyle - stay as back-up@WR@LB
RB Jackie Battle - go
RB Gilbert Harris - who?
RB Kolby Smith - go, and take his crutches with him
WR Chris Chambers - stay, veteran leadership
WR Bobby Wade - stay, slot reciver, possibly
TE Leonard Pope - stay
RT Ryan O’Callaghan - stay, don't give up on yet
C Rudy Niswanger - go, or stay as back-up
LB Derrick Johnson - stay, please stay, he made my day at the Denver game.
.
LB Corey Mays - stay, I love his effort!
S Jarrad Page - stay, haven't given up on but we really have no one else in this position. . . yet

QB Brodie Croyle- Stay as backup to Cassel
RB Jackie Battle- No opinion
RB Gilbert Harris- Go
RB Kolby Smith- Stay if healthy
WR Chris Chambers- Stay until upgraded
WR Bobby Wade- Stay until upgraded
TE Leonard Pope- Stay until Cottam matures
RT Ryan O’Callagham- Stay regardless, did a good job.
C Rudy Niswanger- Stay as backup to new C
LB Derrick Johnson- Stay
LB Mike Vrabel- Stay for leadership of youth
LB Corey Mays- Stay as backup to new ILB
S Jarrad Page- Stay

WHAT!!!!! Patrick you want Ryan O-Callaghan to go? No love? What gives? I think he is a starter. He played better as the year wnet on. We can tender him at second round and get a great bargain for basically 1.5 million.

QB Brodie Croyle Stay. Unless he gets an offer to start, in which case they shoul dcut him lose.
RB Jackie Battle Stay. I like this guy.
RB Gilbert Harris Who?
RB Kolby Smith Go. I like Jackie Battle better. Plus too many injuries.
WR Chris Chambers Stay...unless a better option is available
WR Bobby Wade Go.
TE Leonard Pope Stay.
RT Ryan O’Callaghan Go.
C Rudy Niswanger Stay. Reserve.
LB Derrick Johnson Stay.
LB Mike Vrabel ehh I dunno. I want to see what Studebaker can do...he has been underwhelming. Stay I guess.
LB Corey Mays Stay. Reserve.
S Jarrad Page Stay. Starter.
