There's a different in giving an over-the-hill FA a boatload of cash and improving your team with younger/role player talent. Like most things in life, building a team requires a balanced approach. Good drafts and FA pickups. People forget that some of our crucial players are FAs. Fletcher, Moss, Garcon, Bowen, Carikkier, just to name a few.

We traded for Carriker but I understand what you're saying.

Carrier was actually a trade. We swapped 5th rounders with St. Louis. That is how little they thought of him. They gained 15 spots in the 5th round.

Winfield chatter......
Looks like he has visits set up.

That's a pretty fantastic mis-spelling.

Firstdown has taught him well.

I do think the Chicken Littles up in here need to take a pill. Our secondary will be so much better next year because of the presence of Brandon Meriweather alone. They will come up with a passable CB either through the draft or through patience in free agency.

And has everyone forgotten how Reed Doughty performed at the end of the year? Dude may have turned a corner.

Best I've ever seen him play. In fact...he was damn good. If he can keep up that level of play..that would definitely improve our secondary quite a bit.

Damn good? S he was playing at an all pro level, but... It was for one half. He has had trouble playing at that level consistently which is how he ended up with us. We need him to work out for us next year really bad.

And speaking of safety, I heard that Jackson will not be able to practice or participate in anything with the team until the end of the preseason, since that's when his suspension went into effect. Is there any chance he will be a contributor next year or is he a lost cause at this point?
