I think Jordan Cross would be an ideal free agency move. Bring in Shane Lechler and let Plackmeier Kick.
I can't see us picking up too many so called stars in free agency because it will come to bite us in the butt in about four years.
I would like to see Matt Cassel come in though to replace Collins if he doesn't return. You'd have two guys waiting in the number two spot to take over if JC doesn't work out. Next year is his last year as starter or on the team if he doesn't improve. He has improved and I'm not calling for his head yet . . . .
I'd steer away from too many FA additions because the FO hasn't had too much luck with it over the years.
Wait, you want to convert a punter (Plackemeier) into a kicker and bring in Matt Cassel who has just come off of a season that's probably going to get him franchised or close to franchise money from some team and a starting job for him to backup Jason Campbell. Vinny, is that you?

After last night so does everyone else.

True, I doubt they will get Sproles. My point was more that Jacobs and Portis do not compliment one another...you need one of those 2 in combination with a homerun threat

Good move on their part. If Brady has to have scar tissue removed that was left behind by infection, there's a chance he won't play next year. They get Cassell for one more year and then can decide next year what to do at the QB position.

THESE ARE THE GUYS I PRIZE IN 2009
Darren Sproles, (speed and a change of pace back for Portis to take a breather)
T.J. Houshmandzadeh, (dependable quality possesion reciever)
Jordan Gross, (Good solid tackle and move Jansen inside to gaurd)
Nnamdi Asomugha, Along with Hall we will have an improved situation in the secondary to make moves and get younger)
Albert Haynesworth
(My favorite inside beast, good player on and off the field, I know as I live outside of Nashville and see it every week!) We get this guy and the ends will be pro-bowlers!!!
a pick up or two of these guys and we should be good for 2009!!!

I never would have thought that I'd be so jazzed about a kicker, but GET LECHLER. Dude has a serious leg on him.

They could tag and trade Cassell also though. It gives them some leverage. For example, suppose Favre retires and the Jets go after Cassell. Well now he won't come without a steep price to a division rival

Jordan Gross
Darren Sproles (Trade Rock or Betts,I love the Rock but Sproles can do so much more, Madden called him the best 3rd down back in the league and we had problems on 3rd down)
Shane Lechler (best punter in the league)
Jonathan Vilma
I'm 100% w/ you on Sproles. I'd make him high on the list. I just don't think SD is going to let him get away w/ LD seemingly on the down side on his career.
