I don't know if either we package Collins and Lloyd to trade up with a team that wants a chance to win, and is judging Collins for his play, instead of understanding that he is a back-up.
lloyd is going to make like 700k next season and then his money jumps to something like 4mill per year. NO ONE Is EVER going to trade for him with that contract. he has 0 trade value anyways, and i hate how people always assume we can trade our crap for something that's actually worthwhile... doesn't work like that (except in the kwame for caron trade (the laker's were soooo retarded on that one)).
2) We spend our money that we get from ST to either re-sign players, or if it makes better sense, get someone new. Retire #21. No questions, just do it.
3) Campbell has to start to follow Saunders offense, this made Collins look fabulous, he listened to the highest paid O-coordinator in the league. We realize that with a good bit of talent, and following Saunders offense, Campbell could be in the top 10.
4) We need to get a good kicker, we have lacked one of them for sometime. Arguably our loss was thanks to the momentum change out of the missed chip-shot field goal. 17 unanswered points hurts.
5) How about a roof on the stadium, that would make it louder!
6) We have to avoid long loosing streaks, no more than 2 at a time, it downs the whole team, in contrast, more winning streaks would be nice!

1) tall receiver != good receiver. though a stud #1 guy would be a crazy upgrade. our depth would be amazing is our current WRs (minus lloyd) all shifted down a spot.
2) what money? we're not getting any money. death is treated like being cut or retiring. all SB money is instantly due, and forward salaries are erased.
3) i have no idea what you're talking about. campbell did exactly what he was told to do. while he was in, portis and moss (and our OL) weren't playing well, and gibbs/al were forcing a very conservative gameplan on campbell. once todd came in, the offence completely changed and deep passes came more than one or twice a game. the COACHES need to give campbell the entire offence next year.
4) we have a good kicker (83%). If we wanted to draft one, gostkowski and crosby were the ones to get. while it is possible to get an upgrade there, it's not very likely, and we have MUCH higher priorities.
5) snyder's already looked into it (new stadium and a balloon roof kinda deal for fedex) to win superbowl bids. it's not happening any time soon though.
6) that's not really something you can control beyond preparing well, managing your roster and hoping for the best.
