Predict our first major player acquisition

QB Tommy Maddox

WR Brandon Lloyd

CB Charles Woodson or R.W. McQuarters (special teams)

DE Jon Abraham

OL Jeff Backus

K Vinatieri

Any of these players especiall at WR or CB would please me. Feel free to disagree or add to this

where do you propose we get the money for these guys though? we should just maybe ask david patten

he knows the style of offense, and i think he could contribute, but would you rather go after someone else?

Not really. Randle-El is a hot commodity and will be way overpriced when all is said and done. I don't want Antonio Bryant, he's a cancer. Jurevicius would be alright, but he's been in west coast offenses, not our style of offense. I'm not interested in Koren Robinson, he's not a Gibbs guy. Brandon Lloyd is restricted and I wouldn't want to give up any of our precious draft picks for him. I think I'd like Givens about as much as I'd like Bruce, between them it would come down to price for me.

I agree wholeheartedly, so who are some guys like that?

I don't think that fans can pick out the bargains like Griffin and Washington. We're more familiar with players who have been publicized. Chris Hope and Randel El have been mentioned here because their team won the Super Bowl. They're both good players you'd like to have but unlikely to be bargain deals.

I'd throw Moulds into that mix too. I know he supposedly had problems in Buff. last year, but he was never a malcontent before and I think the Buffalo offense and/or coaching staff had real problems last year. He is about the same age as Bruce and was a first tier WR for a long time. If he gets cut, and the price is right, then my I would go with Givens first then Bruce or Moulds then Randle-El.

im all for KR. he really is a gibbs guy. reformed christian. seriously an overall good guy.

I TOTALLY disagree with this. Bruce knows our system, he played under Martz for several years who is a disciple of the Gibbs offense. The guy could come right in and run solid routes for us. I wouldn't pay a lot for him because as you say he is old, but he is still an effective receiver. It was only one year ago that he had 89 catches and 1292 yards. Last year he missed 5 games, got nagged by injuries all season, and Martz was sidelined. I wouldn't pay a lot for him given that we could get a David Givens for pretty cheap, but Bruce would be able to come in and assimilate our offense very quickly. He knows the Saunders style offense already.

Not only did he play under Martz but he was a perennial Pro-Bowler under Al Saunders. So they have a good history together. For the right price he's a perfect fit here.

ahh! was not aware of that. GREAT POST!! 100%!!! :biggthump

probowler under saunders eh? I DO like the cut of THAT jib.

I'm wary about Koren Robinson because he drops so many balls. I know he had a resurgence last year, but I'm not sure he's the most reliable to be our #2.

Randle-El really is a #1 guy. He's that good. He would have a breakout year like Santana did for us if he was a # 1 somewhere. I'd be surprised to seem him leave the Steelers though.

I think Isaac Bruce can still play. He had a decent season last year and that's with him being hurt part of the season as well as Bulger. His ship hasn't sailed just yet.

I'd just like another guy that could stretch the field. Antonio Bryant seems like an intriguing project. I wonder if he really does want to prove himself and a bit of redemption or if he really is just a mess.

i dont think randle-el should HAVE to be a #1 guy. we have that in moss. i agree with wheover thinks that the super bowl will drive the price up on randle-el but i WOULD like to have him for the right price.
