Basically , we can only sign one for the same money we lose one for.

Since I see no big money Saints free-agents leaving, I can't see us signing any big name guys.

And we can't sign any until after ours sign somewhere else. It may be the final week of free-agency before any of our guys sign elsewhere. By then all the top free-agents will be gone.

vINCE WOULD BE NICE BUT i AM NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. tHE PATS ARE SITTING GOOD TO SIGN HIM. cAPS WTF

Now GB has a bit of a problem cap wise at DT.

Ryan Pickett , NT, 6-2, 340, 30
and
B. J. Raji

IMO opion Pickett who salavaged his carrer in GB will not be resigned because of cap and the play of Pickett. Clancy and Pickett would form a great rotation at NT.

If not my second choice is to go smaller, taller and quicker

Tony Brown, Titans, 6-3, 290, 29

Tony is a very under rated DT in the NFL.

Both are very cap friendly compared to Vince.

Draft is loaded with good DT and NT also. From the first all the way through the 3rd or 4th rounds

Who exactly is supposed to benefit from this final eight rule? By what I read, it seems better
for the teams to just cut the players.

Daniel Snyder.

At least Jerry Jones made the final 8 so he won't have his billions to go willy-nilly free agent grabbing this spring.........

And to the poster who made the point about Seymour - excellent point. The Patriots shot themselves in the foot bad with that one. Till they realize the benefit of those picks they got, it might be 2-3 years from now, and they better hope Brady doesn't continue to decline or they will be a mediocre team rather than a playoff pretender.

Yeah, I don't see that as a real possibility. Now the boys that Hagan was pointing out look good, and the draft is fairly deep this year in DTs.
