How many more games could we have possibly won if he doesn’t get injured?

Cousins, Jimmy G (see his recent playoff performances), Wentz simply don’t do it for me. DWatson & Russ are the only guys I like more but you are going to have to give up a good player or two for their services.

This will probably become the most anticipated Free agency period for me in quite a while.

Living out here I can confirm Jimmy G doesn't suck, but he's that QB that will make at least one bone-headed throw a game, often in the worst possible moment. He just has a knack for it. I would be extremely disappointed if we went after him. IMO it's Jameis, then Hill - either way we're okay.

With simple restructures alone we can get to around $20 million under the cap. Add another $10 million by releasing Roby and then with a few extensions we can easily get to around $35 million in free cap. Of course, keeping Marcus Williams will cost some and we'll need to reserve $5 million or so for rookie contracts. There's no reason why we can't dabble in the FA market a bit.

No reason at all since the cap doesn't matter, eh little speedo? Let's sign Rogers, Wilson as his backup, Deebo...who else? Maybe we can coax Deion out of retirement and let Marcus walk? Ah hell lets sign him too!

I would love this move.

During the same time frame Armstead started 47 games which is an average of 11.8 per season.
Will the real "Mr. Glass" please break!
