I'm of the mind that we could use the second year of the Shan-a-Allen regime to solidify for the future, and shed what's left of the Gibbs II, Vinny, and Zorn eras.

Most importantly shed contracts that are cap killers. With Samuels, Randy Thomas, ARE, Andre Carter, Moss and Landry contract structures, release or trade was basically an impossibility (not sure how Samuels or Thomas' retirement would've affected the cap tho). Not sure of the guarantees or new structure of Portis' contract but it opens up options with him also. This uncapped year allows us to clean up some of the contractual messes that could've eventually put us in cap hell (if the cap returns).
Not to mention, being the # 1 or #2 revenue team in the NFL we can win a bidding war for a most UFAs if need be.
