Maybe you strike out and some of the quality backups are not that great, but at least you have the cap space to do it.

Also I would say you try to get these backups without giving up draft choices as they did in the Duckett deal.

All in all I say try you try to get descent backups without giving up draft choices, sign a big free agent or two but don't break the bank for every top flight player out there, and keep as many draft choices as you can so you have more chances to pick a couple of good players. Just maybe this will provide the team with some good depth.

Heck the Patriots had a couple of lineman go down and they had some backups to replace them and they are in the palyoff hunt. They were able to get these backups by not breaking the bank and having the cap space to do it - whats wrong with that philopshy?

There's nothing wrong with that, what I'm saying is what's wrong with OURS? Why not get both Lloyd and Randle El? We still have money leftover. If there's anything the Skins know how to do, it's stretch cap space. You'd think that if whoever the GM was KNEW that Portis, Springs and Pierson would go down, they would have gone out and GOTTEN the aforementioned quality depth.
