Personnel Question

That's a pretty good question. We have let or DC go and hopefully his replacement can evaluate talent then make the necessary cuts while bringing in the talent he needs. We are going to be up against the cap this year and will be limited with funds for the defensive side of the ball. We must resign Drew. Then we must give him back the protection that got him here and resign Nicks. After that you resign his go to receiver Marques Colston.
Once these key pieces are back in place we can work around the rest of it. There are some under achievers that we need to jettison. I'm a little worried about players like Dunbar who's contract is up and Vilma has one more year on his. Can we afford to keep him as well as several other players that seemed to emerge at the end of the season? We have to cut costs somewhere to pay to keep the offense intact.

This shortened off season saw several defenses go from the bottom to the top in defense with just a few changes. Good question. Who Dat!

Player evaluation is my guess.

I would think it is very hard to judge who will make a good Pro. I for one thought Damion Fletcher, a RB out of Southern Miss was a lock to be in the NFL. He was a Top 20 RB in NCAA Football. But he never made it. Go figure.

I think it is truly a "Hit or Miss" type of thing. What looks great in college.... doesn't always pan out in the NFL.

May be time to evaluate the Vilma situation with Dunbar being the younger player for that position. Certainly defensive line and LBs need to be our primary building concern this off season.

sign the players we can then see what is left and do some roster juggling.

at best i see a high midlevel fa fitting in the cap.

Williams may not get the money most think due to his injury history
