February 16-- Cerrato sheds light on off-season direction for Skins

[SmootSmack]

He talked about going after guys the coaches already have a history with, which sounds a lot like "We're going after Lance Briggs and DJ Hackett"

HACKET? Don't talk about HACKET? You kidding me? Hacket?

Oh well, the guy seems to have good size and knows "Zorn's" offense but I'd like to see a Recieving core with ARE, Moss, Cooley, Caldwell, Chad Johnson or Devin Thomas or Jordy Nelson, and yes even Anthony Mix.

But did Briggs play when Blache was in Cha town?

For one or two years, yes

That would end up being a very impressive offseason haul.

Not sure where we are going to get the money though. If we aren't going to cut Springs, and we aren't going to cut Daniels, and we aren't going to cut Kendall, then we aren't going to be able to be players in free agency.

I mean, Lloyd is already on his way out, probably a post June-1 designation (I don't see how else they are planning on doing this). I'm sure Portis and Samuels are both going to restructure, and Brunell isn't coming back under his current deal, so that leaves something like 4 million dollars under the cap to work with. Yeah we could probably fit both of them in that tight space with backloaded deals, but then you have no spare room, and inevitable cuts coming to fit the rooks under.

At least doing it that way, we have time for the draft to determine who stays and who goes, but it really gives us no flexibility regarding who of our own players we can retain (T. Collins, R. Cartwright).
