However...I just don't think we're going to find a guy who we would actually want at WILB.  They're somewhat hard to find, more so with modern pass catching TEs and RBs, forcing that guy to be more of a coverage guy. The players that could do the coverage job are rare.  Either have a chance to draft them early (Kuchley), you luck into a late rounder who can do the job, or do try an experiment with Burks.The guys we could sign are thumpers, more in line with what Martinez does and brings to the table.  And they're plug and play.  Teach them your play calls they'll be in the lineup in no time.  But as vested vets, they're a little pricey.  And maybe injury prone.  So why take the risk when you wait a week and start open tryouts?And if he loses his spot, is he going to be pissy?  A bad teammate?  If you have to cut him to send a message, his million dollar contract (what's the minimum for a player like T'eo?) and cap hit smacks you in the face.</blockquote>
