Danny O'Neil has a report on his blog that says Ellis Wyms and Chuck Darby are scheduled to meet with Detroit next week. The obvious connection here is that the were both coached in Tampa by Detroit head coach Rod Marinelli. It seems that the Hawks have cleared some space now by cutting Ashworth.

The time might be now to move to keep some guys, if we need them.

Personally, I think that Darby is done. Big men with hurt knees who rely on speed over bulk and are on the wrong side of thirty, don't fare so well.

Wyms is a quality rotational guy. He plays both end and tackle. However, it seems to be in the Hawks plans to take another DT. Add that to the possibility, slim as it is, that Tubbs contributes, and there may not be space.

This has already been a tough year on the Hawks free agency wise. But no panic here, we improved the offensive line already, which was the biggest priority.
