Only when referring to my wife.

But I agree and I fell we will have at least one OL signed in FA and one in the draft. (Hoping for Alex Mack myself), I think what everyone else is saying is that if you get someone like Marquise Lee to drop to 34, take him. Myself I just wanna know who our coach is and who we sign in FA before I decide who I want for the draft:

My dream Free Agents:
1. Jairus Byrd (Would settle for TJ Ward also)
2. Alterraun Verner (Would settle for Sam Shields or Talib)
3. Alex Mack
4. Jeremy Maclin (Would be cheaper than Decker although Decker is the better player)
5. ANY PUNTER!!!!
2.

The Bengals are stacked at WR, I would imagine there might be a FA in there. If Gruden is hired he just bring one of them, Green, Jones, Sanu, Hawkins, Tate.

That is not really out of the box at all, I am fine with Thomas starting at SS next year, but what about FS? And CB? We need both of those positions. And whose to say this "quality" DB/S will be any good and where are you gonna draft him at? This draft isn't as deep with secondary talent as last year.

They don't need to fix all those problems immediately. I do not see this team becoming a super bowl contender overnight, no matter what they do this offseason. Seahawks drafted Thurmound (4th round), Chancellor (5th round), then the next year drafted Sherman (5th round) and Maxwell (5th round). And now the Seahawks are favorites to make the Super Bowl. It can be done with proper scouting and development. But most of all patience.

How often does that happen? What I am saying is that a blend of FA and the draft is a good thing. No one is saying go pay Jairus Byrd 13 million a year, but if we can get him and not blow too much to do so, why not?

It seems to happen to a lot of good teams. If Byrd wants to come at a reasonable price, I have no problem with it.

The problem is he stated last summer he wants to be the highest paid NFL safety. That would be around 10 million. He isn't worth that much.

How is he not? He is the 2nd best FS in the league. Every good team still makes key FA signings that help them out.

Our team was one non-knee injury from making a good run into the playoffs last year (2012 season). You make it sound like our team is full of aging veterans and that we are starting from scratch.

While I don't expect a SB run next season, I think with the development of the young guys we've drafted and the young vets we have in place, a few key free agent acquisition and draft picks this offseason, can make us a playoff team sooner rather than later.

I don't want to see us break the bank on one player, but you can't expect to get every free agent signing cheap. Some people thought we overpaid for Gracon, but in the end he has been worth it.
