Re: Free agents 2014

Personally i think our offense needs to spend more money on the O-line rather than WRs and TEs. I don't think we need Jimmy back; bringing him back may hurt the team more than it helps. Lets remember we have had the #1 offense for many years before Jimmy was with us. We (the team) should focus on keeping Drew upright and getting the running game going strong. Those two factors only happen when you have a solid line.

Flame away.

Re: Free agents 2014

No flames here. I would love the O-line to be road graders, also agree about the run game. I do think that we need another WR to replace Meachum. The way I look at Meachum going to San Diego and getting cut after signing a big contract tells me there are better WR's out there, I think Moore should be replaced also but Stills in my opinion can play the slot better. If Graham does get a contract( a top dollar) we are defeating the purpose of building. We won before he was here we can win with him gone+ two 1st round picks with the right team we could build one he!! of an O.

Re: Free agents 2014

The only teams that I could see giving up two first rounders for Jimmy Graham would be Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Miami - and I'd love to move up in this draft and forego extending any further cap ramifications into the future...

We just can't be this close against the cap every season; we'll be stuck in mediocrity...

There's not really a FA CB I like other than the kid from Tennessee; I like our guys better - Saints did an awesome sell on Keenan Lewis, already a Saints Favorite...

He might ask too much, but OLB Jason Worilds could flourish in our system - but, we've yet to see Victor Butler, already under contract...

Alex Mack (Truck) is the guy that could re-establish this offensive line...

Would love to also add DE Tyson Jackson, Free Agent KC...

Then Hicks could rotate there and with John Jenkins, getting cap relief from possible Bunkley trade...

I agree with all of your decisions, but it will be hard to get either of those guys. Alterraun Verner will ask for a huge contract way out of our league.

Considering what DLP and Strief may get in the market - I'd swing for the fences and upgrade...
