Re: The 6 Million Dollar Shopping Spree

Ben Troupe hasn't done a whole lot in his career, and is a worse blocker. Obviously, Faine's not on the market anymore, but we can still do the rest.

If we have signed Collins, Brunell won't be back, even at league min.

Re: The 6 Million Dollar Shopping Spree

Well if I am the GM then I have to say absolutely no to all free agent moves, especially any one that Brings Brunell back! I would have more than enough confidence that I can start filling needs through the draft, which we need to start doing, which is one reason we have very little cap space to begin with.

I would start by drafting Cromartie at CB, I believe CB is our biggest need right now, I would then turn my attention to offensive line. This should be the focal point of our draft, we will not fill all our needs at once there has been to much neglect in the personnel department. The goal this year is to bring in young talent and lower our cap number for next season where a good draft could put us over the top. CB's and O linemen this draft!

All of a sudden Hackett is the next big time WR????????? I do believe we can survive without a big time contract for Hackett!

comparing him to wilson, who's older and done less, doesn't really prove your point.

Yeah, but you're talking about a guy who had the starters job handed to him on a silver platter, and got beaten out by Bo Scaife, and I'm talking about a guy who has waited behind Tony Gonzalez for 4 years.

Yeah, but for all intents and purposes, Dunn was playing a different position in the offense than Gonzo. If Gonzo had missed a week, it would have been Wilson who took his place, because of Dunn's limited availability in the receving game.

Speaking of that though, Dunn is a free agent.
