Not quite time to panic

I agree, not time to panic yet. I thought we were going to get Asante Samuel, but with how much money he would have cost us, maybe it's a good thing he's going to Philadelphia. Like boba said, there are a lot of good players out there that are either free agents or are being dangled as trade bait. Just be patient with the FO, because I'm sure they're doing something about the defense (especially CB). I mean seriously, they have to understand that MM had ACL surgery and Jason David is our other corner. That's a problem that needs fixing, and I'm sure they'll do something about it.

Also remember to stay patient, Payton and Loomis have done a pretty good job over the last two years of swinging draft day trades for some solid players (ie Hollis Thomas). It might take a while, but I'm sure they'll figure it out.

I personally would love to see us sign either Randall Gay, or get Lito Sheppard somehow.

As much as I wanted Asante, I feel he was a product of the scheme of the Pats and also knowing what the other team is going to do may have helped. all that being said......he still would have been an upgrade. I also feel the same way about gay, although I would like to see him play nickel for us. We need a true starting CB very bad!
