    Good luck with that, as an interesting side note, I checked the 08-09 and 09-10 offseasons for "when" the latest Ireland signed a Free Agent who was expected to start and the latest they were brought in was:

    Steve McKinney on May 19th in 2008 and Jason Taylor on May 13th in 09.

    McKinney was released fairly quickly, and Sparano had said he was in contact with Taylor and passed the offseason workout program along to Taylor.

    A player like Adalius Thomas, who is coming off of a down year, would have to had shown up early and have been 100% comitted to attending every workout for the Trifecta to have been interested in him IMHO.

    That window is slightly cracked open though, as he would only be 25 workouts behind the rest of the Veterans if he had kept himself in shape that could be made up for...

    As for Atogowe, dual injuries, a shoulder and a hernia, chances are good we wouldn't pay top dollar for a player they are not certain can participate in the workout regime, it could happen, but imho it would go against Type for Ireland.
