In most cities they would have actually hired a defensive coaching staff by now.

I'm hoping for a Graham type trade again. Good picks will pay dividens in the future. I don't care what type of cap hit it cost I would shop Jordan.

Halloween...You know you say that...

but I can see recent draftees being traded to better fit Allen's 4-3...

We traded a very good tackle in Akiem Hicks for a backup tight end...

Every TE in the NFL would be a back-up on the Pats.

Meaning we traded a starting defensive linemen for the Saints for a tight end that was a backup for the Saints...

Now he obviously fell out of favor - why?!? that's what I'd like to hear...

But the yield is undeniable and bears scrutiny...

Hicks is a free agent that has gotten ZERO offers, he was far from a good tackle

Brandon Boykin, CB, Steelers. Age: 26 Under appreciated slot CB

what kind of money? should be south of this
Casey Hayward, CB, Packers to chargers.Age: 26
3 yrs/15.3 million

surprising starter that fared pretty well at slot last year
Sterling Moore, CB, Buccaneers. Age: 26 ?
