I know what you mean. However, I am cool either way.

If we are able to clear enough cap room to sign a couple guys to help right away, I'm good.

If we just wait and hopefully draft a couple impact players and some quality depth, I'm good too.

Im not really fiending, but little worried we are missing 1 starting TE, 1 starting CB, 1 starting FS, 1 starting Right Tackle and 1 nickle Corner. Especially from a secondary that struggled all last season.

I think our RT comes down to Compton vs Pashos. That's as good as it's gonna get this year barring a major surprise. TE is Fred Davis or Paulson. Paulson started nearly half the season so I wouldn't say we are missing a starting TE, and we basically were missing a CB and 2 Safeties all last year :cheeky-sm so if we are only down 1 and 1, maybe we gained without knowing it.

Too funny, I came online just to post basically the exact same thing. I was gonna go with "I need a shot of adrenaline to stay alive, because this free agency is boring me to death".

How have we not burned through at least one 50 million dollar contract yet???? I know we don't have it, but we've been determined in the past to find a way to blow some money (cough cough Mike Wallace cough).

But I did hear we drafted RGIII last year, so that always brings me back to a good place.

I'll be mildly surprised if Pashos even makes the team.

Rich Campbell made the point that Cason and DMC both took 1 year deals in this market looking toward next year when its not so crowded, but that points to an interesting question about our intentions too, have we been letting agents know that we have interest but can't do much this year?

Report: Antoine Cason, Arizona Cardinals strike deal - NFL.com

cason is $2m 1year. wish we had gotten him for that. maybe talib is close and not going to NE.

i think the next best after that is winfield on a 1-2year deal.

Why Winfield? I don't want an old guy who lasts a year or two. I think we need to fill the corner position in the draft. Maybe we won't get an immediate starter, but we already have Crawford and Wilson, and then we would be better set up for the future.

The solution we all should want is filling this position through the draft. I like Winfield in the interim because he is one of the surest tackling db's available. His leadership an work ethic would be useful while whoever we draft gets up to speed. That and his likely low salary/bonus are why I want Winfield.

That Guy · 03-15-2013, 08:51 PM

cause we need someone to start for us this year... you just said it yourself. winfield is old, so he'd be in the price range if talib doesn't work out. we still need a safety and a #3 db anyways.

skinsfaninok · 03-15-2013, 09:01 PM

We are screwed at CB next year, especially if Hall doesn't come back. Doesn't matter if u hate the guy or like him if we don't replace him we will be even worse.

I think Chase Minniefield will play better than you think. Don't be such a negative nancy.
