Starting with Steve Reed because he offers a few suggestions outside the norm.

This caught my eye from the Disturbers blog

Had a nice visit with Bob LaMonte, the agent for coach John Fox, as he visited Sunday’s practice. LaMonte might be the most powerful man in the NFC South, and he’s become a power broker throughout the league. LaMonte represents seven head coaches, including Tampa Bay’s Jon Gruden and Atlanta’s Jim Mora.

LaMonte makes it a point to make the rounds to see each of his clients in the preseason and he chatted with Fox and general manager Marty Hurney on Sunday. But there was one other subtle point to LaMonte’s visit.

He also represents quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy and views him as a rising star. LaMonte is very good at marketing his clients. Don’t be surprised if McCoy starts drawing interest for offensive coordinator jobs next season.

Does that mean that McCoy'll have a real job instead of the "in name only" job he has now? :imagestor

You mean "marketing" like getting a guy nobody respects into the paper by propositioning an easy sportswriter?

This is the second time we've heard of LaMonte's spiel on McCoy this offseason. One was plenty.

Gantt and I differed on only one player. Other than one or two spots, that also matches up pretty closely with Yasinskas, for whatever it's worth (there aren't that many differences all around).

Interesting that Will Montgomery is listed by nearly all of them as a lock to make the roster.
