I feel ya, but we've been in that mode for three years and all the carefree (or careless) attitude towards rookies and draft picks has yielded is 7-9 and annual salary cap crunches till this year...

Hey JP, we actually tried a bunch of stop gap signings, and one was fairly expensive lesson. Greer going down like he did and retiring was really devastating. We tried Champ but those tires had fallen off and then we tried Browner and that didn't work either. We have drafted decent at corner if you consider Swann's first season and Williams' potential. Our problem has been their health. We have 1.5 games in two years from Williams. Swann had those 8 or so games where he really looked like he had some potential and then the concussions. I am very scared signing Butler for a really lucrative contract just because of our history. I hope our current D coaches know what they see etc
