Assuming we switch to a 3-4 and Shanahan doesn't like Campbell, i'd love to see:

"Big Name" Signings

• Karlos Dansby
• Dunta Robinson
• Darren Sproels
• Kevin Walter

"Big Name" Cuts

• Clinton Portis
• Randy Thomas
• Randel El
• Rock Cartwright
• Todd Collins
• Fred Smoot
• Cornelius Griffin
• Reynaldo Wynn

Traded*

• Laron Landry - 3rd and 4th Round Picks
• Santana Moss - 3rd Round Pick
• Jason Campbell - 3rd and 4th Round Picks
• Andre Carter - 4th Round Pick
• Carlos Rogers - 2nd Round Pick
• Rocky McIntosh - 4th Round Pick

*I would accept young, promising, zoneblocking offensive linemen in place of draft picks.

Perfecto! I'll be sad to see Griff go but there's really no spot for him in the 3-4. Landry will yield 3rd and 4th round picks when I become a billionaire. My guess is Landry will be shopped but the offers will be paltry. Word of all this will get out and Landry will show up even later and less prepared than last season, further deflating his value. Shanny/Allen won't put up w/ Landry's bullsh*t and he'll be traded for peanuts or cut.

...or he could make the surprise leap into adulthood in the next few weeks and realize he needs to get a lot better and cut the showboat crap.
