Re: 2009 Season
Wish list :
Our guys
Clear up cap space .
Springs ($8.48 - 2.48) - /Taylor (8.5 - 0)/ Washington(6.52-2.02) get them to resign to lower contracts 3-4 year deals max . could clear up 8-10 million in space .
Say good bye to Daniels unless he can come back at DT/DE hybrid . He is strong and was a force against the run .
Also look to cut Griffin ($6.166- 2.02)
Look to resign - Karry Campbell, Pete Kendell, Demetric Evans .
Look to lock up - Carlos Rogers/Deangelo Hall ... (It should be possible to do both this year but Hall is more pressing though that sets the bar for Rogers in 09)
McIntosh/Blades - I doubt Rocky would like to sign anything this year ( a down year) but both him and Blades are in contract years in 09 and neither really shone in 08.
Free agents
Look to pick up a poket collapsing DT. There are a couple of 3-4 DE we could look at DT . Canty or Spears maybe on their outs in Dallas .
Look to pick up Carlos Dansby or Bart Scott at LB .
Look for depth at LB/OL/DT
O Line :
Tricky . It could be you could shuffle the talent . Samuels is a beast at OLT and anyone looking for the drop off in production of the offense need to look at the timing of his injury .
Kendell may not be back a LG .
Rabach : Wore down significantly as the help changed towards LT with Samuels out .
Thomas : Was okay, is too expensiver to cut (More so than Jansen($-9.45))
Jansen/Heyer : Neither has shown they can be anything more than a warm body at RT .
Solutions : Move Jansen to Center in competition with Rabach looser is cut . Have Heyer battle out with top round draft pick at RT . Move Reiheart to LG .
Alternativly : Move Jansen to LG ( Possibly the least demanding OL possition) , Have Rabach battle it out with dradft pick . Heyer and Reinheart battle for RT .
Draft
Top priority : ORT . I have always been a BPA guy or getting the guy with the most value . OL are a premium in this draft and someone should be there at 13-17 worth picking if we can trade back )
Next OLB - The 4-3 is becoming less and less common . We should be able to address the OLB ( Washington Replacement in the 3rd round .
Next DT : We have to do something to be able to collapse the pocket . The top ranked DT is likely expected to go late first early second and value should be available later on .
Other pick/picks : A Committee RB . Portis got real banged up towards the end of the season . Depth at almost any possition .
