Re: How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

We still may bring back Daniels and Washington. Free agency is not over.
As it stands right now, our 2009 starting roster is already signifcantly upgraded on both sides of the ball. And we still have the draft which includes the 13th overall pick in the draft. If we stay at 13, we've got another instant starter and possibly a pro-bowler. If we trade down, well use the pick on at least two players who have starting potential in 2009. Do we still have needs? yes. Will we still have needs even after the draft? Yes. But this is the same situation with every team in football. We are a better team now than we were last year and weve narrowed the gap between the talent on our team and the 2008 NFC-East champion Giants. I'm very happy about where our team is now in relation to where it was a year ago and anyone who thinks differently is going to have a hard time proving their case.
You say we have no draft picks, but we have 4 and will probably get a 7th round compensatory pick for losing Brunell last year.

I doubt that. We didn't draft him.
