Yeah, Dhani was a FA. Always like that pickup.

I think the fact we've got a strong line helps a lot too. They make the LBs look better. Even Caleb Miller would be serviceable behind this crew.

Whalen is one of those guys who just couldn`t shine at the highest level. He may make it onto someone`s team through injury but I don`t seem him as ever being as productive as...say... Kevin Walter.

Where is he now? He was pretty clutch for us back in the early Palmer years.

Crocker cut in Minnesota.

Harrison retired.

I'd just about guarantee that Zimmer told him we're going call you eventually, so don't sign with anyone else. Like us for instance.

Whitlock went to Dallas.

Charles and Moch caught on in Tennessee.

Good for Whitlock.

Glad Charles and his road rage with a gun are no longer our concern.

Moch was fighting a losing battle at DE on this roster. Wish him well.

Interesting that no one took a flier on Ross. This is where the NFL needs a developmental league.

I got a good look at Ross during the Colts games and while he is big and athletic, he's a "little" on the chunky side.

I know no one is expecting someone of that size to be nothing but muscle, but it was glaring.

Combine that with just how raw he is and it doesn't really surprise me much.

While that might be true I think it only underline's wraith's point. Ross is clearly a guy who needs a lot of development to realize his obvious potential, but the NFL really doesn't have a way to do it. Teams use the PS as a reserve, not a true developmental squad.

Ross is only 21, so his best bet might be to spend a year or two in Canada, work on his technique and hopefully build up some good tape. Of course, that assumes he could catch on.

Here's a thought: just like the league added two PS spots for more experienced guys this year, add two "developmental" spots. These two spots can be taken only by rookies who have not previously been on an NFL roster or practice squad, and who were either UDFAs or drafted no earlier than the fifth round. No player can spend more than one year in a developmental slot and signing them to an active roster spot or the PS eliminates any future eligibility for a developmental spot.

Oh, i'm not disagreeing about the need for a developmental league or the idea you had Hoosier (which I like), just saying that given the situation we currently find ourselves in, seeing what Ross looks like, and knowing he's so raw, it doesn't surprise me he didn't catch on.

And while we"re on the subject of former Bengals RBs...Harold Green arrested for allegedly feeling up teen girls.

And the legacy of Sideshow Bob bites Zim in the butt...

And in more good news for Zimmer, AP indicted today on child abuse charges. They relate to disciplining his kid with a switch. On twitter, all the kids have just one question: what's a switch?

Sigh...

ETA Vikes deactivate AP for Sunday. Looks like he did go a bit overboard...
