Chargers cut former 1st rounder Larry English.
Instead of McClain? That guy was better last year than any of our starters at MLB will be this year. Look at him after cutting Durant's ass.Pat Angerer signs with Falcons

When the Falcons lost linebacker Sean Weatherspoon for the season, there were several veteran free agents mentioned as possible signings to shore up the team’s inside linebacker group.
Former Colt Pat Angerer was on that list and he worked out for the team on Tuesday. The workout apparently went well because Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports that Angerer is the newest member of Atlanta’s roster.
Angerer ended the 2013 season on injured reserve after hurting his knee and required microfracture surgery to repair the injury. That kept him from shopping himself as a free agent this spring, but things have obviously progressed well enough to satisfy the Falcons.
Angerer, a second-round pick in 2010, played 54 games and made 39 starts during his time with the Colts. The Falcons have Paul Worrilow, Joplo Bartu and rookie Prince Shembo among the in-house options who will compete with Angerer to fill the starting linebacker jobs come the regular season.

This is a guy we should have looked at instead of McClain.
Big time bust.Chargers cut former 1st rounder Larry English.
Wasn't he also a reach at the time? I thought he was a 2nd rounder or late, late 1st at best leading up to the draft.Big time bust.
Wow. Didn't take them long to cave. He just started bitching recently.
Yeah.
I'd sign him right now.
It's too bad, but the guy got mrsa in TB and had other issues come up. Signing him over Carr was still the smarter move.That has to break Schmitty's heart. That pretty much closes the book on the lesson about signing expensive free agents being "don't ever do it" at any position.
100 million contracts to cornerbacks, no.It's too bad, but the guy got mrsa in TB and had other issues come up. Signing him over Carr was still the smarter move.
Of course, if the argument is, "don't give out big contracts at all," I could buy that in some ways.
That is, almost what I was saying. I'm saying don't give out big contracts to free agents from another team. I'm not defending Carr's contract, I'm saying free agency is about getting guys who are still young at a low price for depth.Of course, if the argument is, "don't give out big contracts at all," I could buy that in some ways.
Giants should dump Hillis and bring him back.Texans cut Andre Brown...surprising...like him quite a bit.
