Anyone know anything about Maake Kemoeatu other then

- just released by Carolina
- played for Rex before signing a lucrative free agent deal with Carolina 2006
- is 6' 5", 345lbs (might be a tad too tall for NT)
- is coming off of a season ending achilles injury

Think he could be a good pickup?

what about the two DE/DTs from the Ravens. They are both visiting the broncos.

But my questions is do we even have the ability to sign anyone right now with the rules?

Bannan visiting Broncos, Edwards could be next

Two Ravens defensive linemen could be headed to the Denver Broncos.

Backup defensive tackle Justin Bannan is visiting Denver on Friday, and starting defensive end Dwan Edwards is arranging a meeting there, a league source confirmed.

It would be a homecoming of sorts for Bannan, who attended the University of Colorado. The Ravens have been extremely pleased with Bannan, but they are expected to go younger at defensive tackle.

Edwards replaced Trevor Pryce as a starter at the midway point of last season.

From what I understand, we can sign any of the following:
- players that were released/cut
- any RFA that were not tendered (we could sign tendered RFA but would have to give compensation)
- UFA we would have to lose one of ours and would have to sign someone at the same price as the FA we lost

Maake Kemoeatu was released making him fair game...
