Of course Ed Hartwell is the front runner in UFA, but here is some other ideas. Sorry, I am not buying the Barrow or Marshall crap.
I heard about a middle lineback in Houston that is pretty decent. His name is Jay Forman (released by Texans)...and another well known Houston LB is on the trading block....Jamie Sharper!!
Foreman is decent, and has potential. Sharper is a bonafide STUD!
Jamie Sharper
2004: 139 tackles!, 2 sacks, 3 forced fumbles

Jay Foreman
2004: 79 tackles

Sharper would be costly, but if the Courtney Brown trade does not go through then maybe Gardner could be traded to Houston (since they don't have a #2 WR).
Houston Texans: The Texans found a candidate for their turnover at inside linebacker by reaching a one-year deal with Chargers linebacker Zeke Moreno.
Since the signing of Morlon Greenwood from the Dolphins to take over at inside linebacker, the Texans released Jay Foreman and have placed Jamie Sharper on the trade block. That created the opening for Moreno, a fifth-round pick of the Chargers in 2001.
Another guy is:
Rob Morris - 77 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 INT
That's it, please post someone else if you have an idea.
I would love to see Sharper in burgundy and gold though.
