He probably won't play at 27 million.

We don't need upgrades at all the positions you listed, just WR, DL and TE mostly.

With Williams returning next year we look pretty good at CB with Lewis Breaux, Swann and Williams.

We're fine at RB, S and OL for now. Those aren't glaring holes at all.

I agree that we are ok with most positions, I was just trying to be funny. I don't agree with you about O-line though. Evans and Strief are playing like 90 yr old men this year. They need to go and we need to upgrade those positions. Safety is one of those positions that would be good if everyone was healthy. The problem is, none of them are healthy.

O-line is as critical as NT to me. Both are essential to our success.
