Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft
Good thread.
I'd like to see them approach it aggressively. Not reckless. I've had enough of that for this week. But instead of throwing a truck load of money at Vincent Jackson, even though we know we're just going to have him on the downside of his career, I'd be aggressive in the WR trade market.
I would sign these players to relatively large money deals:
S Dwight Lowery
S LaRon Landry
I would sign these players to starters salaries:
OT Marcus McNeill (1 year - $4 million, pending release of course)
LB Geno Hayes
LB Erin Henderson OR LB London Fletcher
I would pick these players out of the bargain bin:
CB Tim Jennings
WR Chaz Schilens
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
To go with a number of re-signings we would already be considering. And I would look to bring in help at WR that is perhaps a better fit for our system. Jackson is a good fit, but a big money deal at 29 probably makes as much sense as a big money deal to Haynesworth at age 28, a guy who also fit our scheme.
