Would Dunta Robinson & Darren Sproles be 'business as usual'?

So would you all be surprised if we signed Dunta, Dansby, and somehow got Peppers?

Would this clear the way for a guy like Carter to be expendable? Is Carter a trade option? Also I don't know how I would feel if we had to small cornerbacks as #1 and #2.

Would the Redskins be looked at as this is DS's moves or the new regime?

I am glad you said that. All these crazy trade scenarios that make no sense. Like the Panthers trying to trade Peppers for 2 firsts. If he is worth two first round picks then he is worth signing for the amount he was asking YOUR TEAM for. Point blank.

The 20 mil is the amount they'd have to pay for one year if they Franchise him again. Peppers has said many times that he wants out of Charlotte. The Panthers just didn't want to let their best player go, but everyone has a price. Losing their best player they felt was worth 2 first round picks.

Signing Peppers and Dansby and trading AC is my ideal world dream (along with Cody dropping to us in the second round). Peppers wants to play OLB in a 3-4. Could you imagine a better LB corp than Dansby, Rak, Fletcher and Peppers? AH and Jarmon on the ends and Cody plugging the middle? Landry back at SS with Horton and Smoot playing FS. Coupled with Haslett's promise to be more aggressive and our defense might outscore our offense.

The defense outscoring the offense of the last few years wouldn't be that hard!

That linebacking core sounds like as probowl roster lbs.... If haslett couldn't get a performance out of that front seven he needs to stop coaching football or go back to highschool. HA!

The problem I see with our D though is in the back end. We need to shore up the FS spot, The SS spot is secure as we are 3 deep, and I don't really know what we have at CB and how the current players will respond to our new defensive scheme. I like hall and Rodgers but after that we are so light.

I have a feeling after March 5th the talent pool in FA will go up as teams look to get rid of big money contracts. The players may not be Probowlers but I believe there will be some talent there. Hopefully a few more than servicable Olinemen will be out there.

I thought there were some rules to controll teams from buying up all the players in a uncapped market. Also if you sign all those guys their first year salary would have to be huge because it would be hell when the cap comes back. I also got the feeling Peppers want AH money don't know if we could afford that

I don't know that this is true or not, but it makes sense in my mind. If Danny opens the checkbook wide as DN suggests, his expectations may go to high and thus his patience may shrink.

I think the best thing BA/MS can do is approach this offseason with an aggressive, but not blank check, mentality. Get players who are team oriented, doesn't have to be the biggest name (but can be) and demonstrate a long term commitment to growing players here, not scooping off the marquise names.

You make an excellent argument.

I would add that when there is a new CBA there likely will be some salary maximum mechanism. There will be a salary cap or some other regime to keep salaries in check. If we go wild in an uncapped year, the chickens will come home to roost when the new CBA kicks in, and we may have to gut our team for salary reasons AGAIN.

im just glad this season is uncapped. could you imagine if we had to account for haynesworth's 22 mil plus this year and CP's 12 mil plus in a capped 2010?

I'm not sure but from what I've read, the way teams are able to restructure contracts this wouldn't be a significant problem. Can't remember where I read it. Might have been MAD Magazine. :)

Well you have the 30% rule currently, and one article, possibly that same MAD magazine, speculated that IF a new CBA included a salary cap, there would be a pro-rated scale to "punish" those teams that over-indulged this year.

But I think that same magazine had a lockout followed by the end of the world in 2012, so this could conceivably be the last season of NFL caliber professional football.
