2009 Skins Off Season Plans Ideas, Draft and FA plus cuts

[gaudiomatt]

I know theres probably been a lot of these but I just wanted to throw some ideas out there see how people react they might not all be possible but I think the ideas make a lot of sense.

1. Cut all the enormous contracts on this team not performing. This has to be done with some timing though I don't think it should all be done on day one.

A. Shawn Springs
B. Marcus Washington
C. Cornelius Griffin
D. Reed Doughty
E. Phillip Daniels
F. Casey Rabach
G. Shawn Suisham
H. Jason Fabini
I. James Thrash
H. Let Golston and Kendall go
J. I also think we need to see how the draft and FA play out. But Jason Taylor needs to take a 2-3M$ paycut or release him if we've picked up some extra DE depth, it sucks how it worked out with this guy but it is what it is.

I'm bias, I hate Shawn Springs, He doesn't play because he's a woman not because he's injured. He get's paid the second highest salary on the team because Cerratto is dumb, not because he's good.

2. Resign our players.
A. Sign Denagelo Hall for the offer we gave him, it's very reasonable and 12m guranteed is all he deserves he won't get much more anywhere else and the offer is extremely reasonable he will get paid a lot if he performs.
B. Resign Montgomery and Alexander for cheap salaries. This should be pretty easy.
C. Resign Carlos Rogers for the same deal we gave Deangelo Hall. I completely don't understand the Hall or Rogers debate. Shawn Springs is the most chronically injured player on the team and does not have Roger's coverage skills or Hall's int playmaking ability. Rogers is a young up and coming CB and we could sign him before he breaks out and makes a big payday somehwere else next year in free agency.

Free Agency:
This is kinda speculative know one knows exactly how this will play out and subsequently this will affect the draft greatly but this is what I think is possible and makes a lot of sense for this team, unfortunately those are the type of decisions Cerrato hates so heres my first order of business.
1. Sign Buccaneers personel man Bruce Allen as our GM, a team with a great track record of drafting lineman and getting quality skill players when he takes them early.
2. Sign Stacy Andrews to take over at RT, he should be cheap coming off an injury and is a quality tackle. He can play at pro bowl levels, if he doesn't perform stephon heyer can take over and Jansen is a solid backup.
3. Sign Ritchie Incognito, Give us some depth at G, Whoever performs out of Icognito, Thomas and Rhinehart should start and we can add another G for cheap in FA or late in the draft.
4. Sign Jovan Haye or Rocky Bernard or both. This would be an upgrade and neither is gonna completely fix our dline woes but this would be a great quality value pickup.
5. Get a cheap backup center for a low price.
6. Sign Michael Boley, Leroy Hill, or Angelo Crowell. Crowder and Dansby are both the hotter players right now but they're teams succes is going to massively drive up their price tags and we do not need to be spending big money.
7. Sign a cheap veteran CB to give us some more depth after letting springs go.
8. Sign Kicker Shayne Graham.
7. Key message, fill holes without breaking bank on massive contracts especialy guys like Gross or Peppers or Haynesworth. We have a track record of making these guys not live up to the money we give them. This seems reasonable to me and with the cuts we would have made we should have some decent money to spend.

Draft:
1. Trade out of 13 pick to something in the 22 - 28 range. Try and get a third and sixth rounder in the process.
1. 1st round 26th pick - Peria Jerry DT.
2. 3rd round A - Eric Wood or Jonathon Luigs C.
3. 3rd Round B - Connor Barwin DE. If he's not there go G or DE.
4. 5th round A - Zach Fulton LB
5. 5th Round B - Pat White QB who probably won't be there but if he's not fill our roster out with needs on the oline and dline.

Give me your thoughts.
