Only person I can think of is Mike McKenzie who name came up before about moving to FS. Also it seems Jenkins doesnt want to move to FS which IMO is the (not a word) funner position because you get the roam more and have more chances at interceptions. Saints should be able to sell the Chance to win a Super Bowl with Sharper and bring him in as a short term fix

The other name I'm hearing mentioned in passing is Usama Young to move to FS. Not sure if either will, but I would if I were Usama, and it allowed me to see the field.

Shawn Springs is now available as well. Skins just released him.

Hey, CS, might be a good idea to turn this thread into "DB help from free agency"

Cowboys sign Sensabaugh.

So it looks like Sharper or bust.

Rams Release Orlando Pace

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Orlando Pace, a seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle dogged by injuries in recent seasons, was released Tuesday by the St. Louis Rams.

"I can't begin to thank Orlando for all he has meant to the Rams organization," Rosenbloom added. "It is never easy to end a relationship that has had as much success as ours, but in the interest of Orlando and the Rams, we feel now is the right time."

The Rams signed an offensive lineman at the start of free agency with center Jason Brown getting a four-year, $37 million deal.

Pace was the first offensive lineman chosen No. 1 overall since the Minnesota Vikings took Ron Yary in the 1968 draft. The Rams dealt four draft picks -- a first-, third-, fourth- and seventh-rounder -- to the New York Jets for the right to move up five spots on draft day.

The former Ohio State star was selected to seven straight Pro Bowls from 1999-2005 and started in two Super Bowls, including the franchise's lone title after the 1998 season.

"Orlando Pace has been a mainstay on the Rams' offensive line since he was drafted in 1997, and he has proven to be one of the most efficient offensive tackles throughout his career," general manager Billy Devaney said.

The Rams also are considering releasing another longtime star, wide receiver Torry Holt, a move that would save them an additional $8 million in cap space.

ST. LOUIS (AP)—The St. Louis Rams have released wide receiver Torry Holt, a key member of the team’s “Greatest Show on Turf” days.

The move announced Friday comes three days after the Rams released 33-year-old tackle Orlando Pace.

Releasing Pace and the 32-year-old Holt creates $14 million in salary cap space for the Rams. The team is trying to get younger as it rebuilds after going 2-14 in 2008 and 5-27 over the last two seasons.

Holt is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection who ranks 11th in league history with 869 receptions and 14th with 12,660 receiving yards. His 80.1 yards-per-game career receiving average is the best in NFL history

Re: Free Agency-Saints Priority

Saints sign veteran DE Paul Spicer from the Jags.

http://blog.nola.com/saintsbeat/2009/03/new_orleans_saints_agree_to_te.html

The Saints have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with free agent defensive lineman Paul Spicer, team spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Spicer, 33, will give the Saints some valuable depth at both end and tackle, which will come in especially handy if starting ends Will Smith and Charles Grant wind up serving four-game suspensions at the start of the season.

The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder has started 63 games during his 10-year career, spent mostly with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has remained healthy and productive as he's gotten older, tallying 21.5 sacks and five forced fumbles over the past four years.

He played under new Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams last season in Jacksonville, tallying 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble. But the addition of rookie ends Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves cut into his playing time
