[Trample the Elderly]

Y'all are missing the point. There is no way possible to replace all of the older players in one off season with free agency or with four draft picks. Cutting Jansen, Griffin, Thomas, and Raback and replacing them would be a savage burn.

Springs, Taylor, and Washington could be let go. But Springs and Washington are quality players (although old and injury prone) and if they're going to be replaced we need to get someone who can play their position at least up to their level.
Rebuilding this team over night isn't feasible, economically or philosophically. I would've made Greg Williams the coach but that's just me.

I'd wait until Jim Zorn's contract is up to fire him and Vinny if the team isn't a playoff bound team every year after. This will take at least two drafts or three drafts. It will take that long to get rid of all the restructured contracts. I would wait until at least 2011 to 2012 to fire both of them at once. If you get rid of them now we'd not be able to get anyone else here better than them.
If we're not up to speed by then (2011-2012), Danny will show the NFL he's not a meddler but is still willing to spend money, all of our dead weight will be gone, we'll have younger players, we'll have more money, and we'll be able to start picking up more draft picks do to the rookies recycling out into FA.

They've dug this hole for many seasons. It will not get fixed in one off season with four draft picks and sub-par FAs.
