Nearly all the sexy FA\'s will be re-signed before we even get a shot at them. Same thing happened last year. Many of the ones that did make it to market were way over-paid, especially the CB\'s.
Instead of identifying individual players it might be more prudent to just identify specific positions we should address. Hopefully a new regime will be doing the addressing.

My wish list:
SLB-doesn\'t need to be a franchise stud, although it would be nice. Just a solid proven veteran with a few years left under his belt would be fine. I\'ll leave it to you guys to provide names because I\'m not up to speed yet.

MLB-Watson very well may ba a solid MLB but I think at this stage he would be a better WLB because of his speed. I\'d love to bring in a solid vet that won\'t break the bank but would be an upgrade over what we have. A stabilizing force while Watson grows.

WLB-Rodgers has been decent but we could do better. I\'d like to place Watson there and let a 225lb Cie Grant back him up. If Cie\'s knee will allow it. At 225 lbs it may stand up to the beating.

DT-I\'d love to bring in a good 1-tech DT (what Sullivan was supposed to be). It would let Young do his thing much more effectively. Its the one position I wouldn\'t mind over-paying for. Of course with the Sullivan disaster I don\'t see this happening unless the new GM has a real set.

SS-I wouldn\'t mind a bit if Sammy came back as long as our FS and CB\'s have good speed.
