Players Added
LaDainian Tomlinson/RB - The veteran back should have 8-10 touches/game
left in him for at least another season.
Santonio Holmes/WR - He'll give the team a badly needed down field passing
threat--albeit for 12 games.
Rodrique Wright/DT - He was out of the league last season.
Lance Laury/LB - He figures to see most of his playing time on special teams.
Antonio Cromartie/CB - Cromartie is on the final year of his rookie deal and
still has a lot to prove.
Brodney Pool/S - He'll compete for the free safety job.
Players Lost
Thomas Jones/RB - Second-year RB Shonn Greene will take over as the
starter in his place.
Wallace Wright/WR - He'll see most of his playing time on special teams.
Jay Feely/K - He found a new home with the Arizona Cardinals.
Howard Green/DT - The journeyman defensive tackle's versatility should help him
land a job by early August.
Marques Douglas/DE - He fits in with a team that runs a 3-4 defensive scheme.
Larry Izzo/LB - The special teams ace remains unsigned.
Ryan Fowler/LB - Fowler fits in as a backup MLB at this point in his career.
Marques Murrell/LB - He'll see most of his playing time on special teams.
Lito Sheppard/CB - He's finally starting to receive attention from other teams.
Still, it's questionable if Sheppard will be able land a starting job this
season.
Donald Strickland/CB - The journeyman defensive back found a new home with the
San Diego Chargers
Kerry Rhodes/S - His departure to the Arizona Cardinals leaves a void at free
safety.
Pre-Draft Team Needs
Outside Linebacker - Vernon Gholston hasn't done a thing in his two seasons and
Bryan Thomas has become more of a run defender in recent years. It's no wonder
why they are pursuing Jason Taylor.
Defensive End - Starter Shaun Ellis turns 33 in June and they don't have viable
depth on either side.,
