Droughns would absolutely interest me.
He was fantastic for us in a plodder-type role. . He's 30, and hasn't been overused. I'd dump Pittman and bring him in immediately, provided there are no issues I'm unaware of.
I'm fairly sure he'd beat Selvin Young out for a starting gig if given the chance. He runs downhill, he's bigger and understands our system.
He's also play cheap, which makes this a no-brainer.

Potential interesting cuts from the Philadelphia Eagles: DE Jerome McDougle is very likely, RB Tony Hunt is somewhat likely, OT Winston Justice is possible.

The Bengals have reportedly asked OT Willie Anderson to take a pay cut.
It's only fair after Anderson couldn't win a starting job in training camp. The 33-year-old has been an 11-season staple of the organization, but may not be long for the roster if he refuses to reduce his $3.15

Anderson is a fatass, he is an awful fit for our system. Let him go to Dallas, they need more fatasses in Texas, they are close to being passed by Michigan as the fattest state.
I would take Chatman, Rudi Johnson or Tony Hunt over Michael Pittman. All are an upgrade in my eyes.
