Re: Hard Decisions: The solution to the $18MM offseason puzzle

Kory's a very good run blocker, I'd keep him if doable at $2.5M. Wouldn't pay more than that, though. In general, my preference is to hang onto what we have as much as possible and forgo free agent signings. This is the final year of the cap penalty, I'd like us to keep going with what we have, let Griffin continue to develop and the team overall continue to gel, and then leap into action next year with free agency when we can afford to do it.

Another smart draft and just getting a lot of key players healthy puts us on a path to 11-5, IMO. As long as Griffin can get back. And that's even more reason not to delve into FA too much; if Griffin doesn't recover well it almost doesn't matter who else is on our roster.

I agree with most of what everyone is saying with the exception of Schneed. If griff needs sometime To start the year I believe it does matter. I want Cousins to play just phenomenally to play us into a really nice couple of draft picks.

Id rather not bring back Kory L or Tyler Polumbus. Sign Ryan Harris for 900K to compete with Compton and another late round Tackle draft pick for starting the RT spot and let McRibeus, Gettis and Hurt compete for the start at LG.

Id say lets see what the young guys have for this season and then evaluate if a jump in FA is what the Oline needs in 2014.
