Are you looking for a free agent or do you want to make a trade????

If you want to make a trade it depends on how big you want to get, but looking at the list you may be able to get Lee Suggs cheap and I expect when he starts playing he will take over the starting job in Cleveland rather quickly.

As far as free agents go......maybe Richie Anderson Parcells likes him in Dallas.

As far as just upgrading via waivers, I like Richie Anderson as well. ReShard Lee has done well in limited action for the Cowboys, and with the injury to Julius Jones he could be set up to take over the RB position. He may not be much of a scoring threat though. Jerald Sowell is a guy noone seems to notice. He will get chances both in the passing game and short yardage for the Jets. Good luck!

I'd love to respond, but I really don't think I can do so intelligently given what you've given. What is it you are looking to do, trade or pick up a free agent? [smiley=shrug.gif]

Free agents mainly. Im looking for that diamond in the rough. I'm hoping you guy's will make me look smart. Its a tough task to help those who cant help themselves. ;D

Wow. That is tough. I have to agree with bgsgfan. The names that stood out are Lee and Anderson. I also wouldn't lose sight of Derrick Blaylock. He's more of a gamble but could pay off big if Holmes is out. This would be a one-week solution.

Long-term, I would take Lee. Take him before he (potentially) has a big week!
