True, it is called FREE agency and players choose where they want to go. I think the money will be there for Iupati, it's ust a matter of where he wants to play. Him being in the Bay Area already may give the Raiders an advantage. At least Boling and Carpenter are still out there as alternatives.

I think Boling would be a GREAT signing. Iupati is my first choice, but Boling is not far behind. Either way, we need to upgrade OL -- given the DLs in our division.

Boling would be an awesome alternative, but I just couldn't get excited about Carpenter. Flashes at times, but all in all, an average starter.

Lol...that's funny stuff. I'm sure they will investigate this right after they finish "investigating" deflate gate.

Screw Hoyer. Waste of money. And Fitz is a turnover machine just like our last two QBs. There is no veteran fix to our QB problems. Vinny isn't walking through the doors again. Meaningless wins at end of year will keep us on the QB carousel for a loooooong time. Then who do you suggest? We need someone other than just Geno, and there are not a lot of alternatives out there in either free agency or the draft. Mariota is a possibility at 6, maybe we can pull a draft day deal for Foles, but I don't think we can afford to sit and do nothing while hoping we find our guy on draft day. I suggest no one. Take our medicine for another year and find a QB the right way. Im in this for the long haul. We are in the midst of a 45 year rebuild.

Jets in on Culliver, per twatter That would be a good signing. Unless we have any closet gay players, of course. If we could add both Culliver and, say, Skrine, we would have upgraded our CB spot significantly without even having to worry about what the Pats do with Revis.

I don't disagree that our long term QB may not be on the roster in 2015, but I still think we need to add a vet in the next couple of days of free agency. I am not content to go into the season with just Geno and Simms.

Wow. Those toe injuries are brutal. They end careers.

Build around QB if you have to. Double dip on the OT market and fix it for the long term, find a dynamic RB in the draft and get a veteran TE. Can't just waive the white flag because the FA QB market blows goats.

Yes to Culliver...no IMO to Skrine...guy gets torched repeatedly.

Would love Culliver. Then just get Cro back and we're in MUCH better shape.
