Max Starks RFA Pittsburgh Steelers
Starks is a starting tackle for a Super Bowl champion. That’s enough in itself to get some teams a little excited about the prospects of acquiring him. The fact that Starks is young, talented, and massive in stature—listed at 6’8”, 337 lbs.—just adds to the excitement pile. Another lineman that shouldn’t be going anywhere as the Steelers will not let Starks go without a fight. The best bet is that Starks will decide he wants to stay in Pittsburgh and sign an extension. If he hits the market, there will be a team or two willing to pay a big amount to entice the tackle to relocate.

Leonard Davis UFA Arizona Cardinals
Davis is a massive tackle that the Cardinals can’t afford to lose to free agency, but it seems likely that they will. The Arizona offensive line is already suspect, and losing Davis would be a huge step in the wrong direction, but the team may have to let him go and find a replacement. Davis has shown the ability to simply be a wall of protection for his quarterback and while teams might not line up for the chance to sign him, anyone looking for a tackle will have him high on the list.

Mike Gandy, UFA, Buffalo Bills
A relatively young starting left tackle, Gandy had been blocking for Willis McGahee over the past two seasons, and this season could go a long way in making Gandy an appealing free agent. He has talent, but isn’t considered among the league’s best linemen. However, a decent starting left tackle doesn’t just drop from the sky, so expect him to garner interest from a handful of teams, if Buffalo doesn’t re-sign him before the market opens.

Carl signed Willie Roaf when he became availabe, why wouldn't he go after the best one available this year. Maybe he doesn't read Chiefs Planet and is not aware that we need a Tackle.

All I am saying is that asian cheerleaders are petite and just like eating asian food...after having one you'll be hungry for more 30 minutes later

I have come to respect Black, but you sure as hell wont hear me complain to see LT upgraded. He's become much more consistent but is still pushed around way too much for me. Generally stays in front of his guy, but that often just means that the QB is staring directly into the back of his jersey as he throws.

Starks is interesting, but prolly not worth the $$$ other teams will offer.

Theres really not much out there though, its gonna take a real coup to upgrade at LT unless we draft a ready made guy like McNeil in Eggo.

If I am not mistaken (and I could be) wasn't Willie Roaf coming off an injury and we took a chance on him that worked out for us in the long run?

Not that it makes that big of a difference but I don't see Carl spending HUGE amounts of money on one position unless there is a catch...Kinda like when we signed Kendrall Bell. He was injured and we took the risk and got F***ed.

I don't see us signing a LT or any other needed position without some kind of a catch. Even Ty Law came down in asking price to play for Herm again. And we kinda got F***ed on that one too IMO.

I thought we traded with the Saints to get Willie. He was coming off an injury in the prior season and wanted out because of the "Situation" betwen the Roaf's and Horn.

anyone remember when Carl said that "sometimes it's better to re-sign a lesser player you were familiar with, than take a risk on a big star because you didn't know what you were gonna get"

he said something like that

it was back then when i first started to detest the man

That's code for "I don't want to sign a star I'd rather re-sign a crappy player who's loyal to me because I Know he'll blow me whenever I ask......ask Eric Hicks"

I assume, since he chose "sign" instead of "re-sign", Carl is planning on sitting back hoping his tender offers are enough to keep our players, knowing that they will "sign" elsewhere instead of "re-sign" here. Then, with half a dozen starting spots open 3 weeks into FA, we will be forced to start signing other players to fill our spots.

Tony Richardson is just one example.
