Green Bay Packers' operating profit drops to $9.8 million - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5379673)
I also remember reading an article last year about how much each team makes per year. A few teams lose money, and a whole bunch don't make very much. I'm sorry but I couldn't find the link.

NFL Team Valuations - Forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/30/football-values-09_NFL-Team-Valuations_Value.html)
not the original list I saw, but these work too... I count 6 teams that some players make more than, and the seahawks and raiders apparnatly lost money. Not sure how reliable these numbers are, they seem off considering how much teams like the Bills and Jags made, but then again I do trust forbes. The numbers are apparently going down every year the way the CBA works.

Vincent Jackson is the only big free agent we need. The rest of the class should be made up of hard working role players.

ignore everything I said. just know that green bay made 9.8 million last year, and the operating profit would going down every year from here on out if the CBA were kept in place.
Vincent Jackson is the only big free agent we need. The rest of the class should be made up of hard working role players.
No offense, I'm a little tired of having a team of hard working role players. I want some playmakers.

We'll need to make a few, high-quality (read: big money) signings in this class, which is an unreasonably strong class because no one really hit the market last year.
But there's a difference between giving a couple of big money deals to guys who can improve the overall quality of the roster, and what the Redskins do, which is give creatively deceptive not-so-big-money deals to players who don't actually improve the quality of the roster. More Andre Carters, fewer Adam Archuletas is what we need.
And by fewer, I mean none.

Vincent Jackson is the only big free agent we need. The rest of the class should be made up of hard working role players.Which is to say we should fix this fallacy. We shouldn't give three year contracts to role players on the FA market, we should bring in undrafteds (like Brandon Banks, Keiland Williams, etc) to plug the same holes we would be filling in free agency.
I agree we should go after Jackson. I think we should also go after Ike Taylor, who plays the same defense we play.
I would also go after Ngata, Joseph, Greenway, Woodley, Rice, and Kiwanuka because they are really great players who all should be franchised to stay with their current teams. If they aren't, we can use them on our roster.
But we have to stop going after "next best" types in free agency. It's troublesome to pay "15th best in NFL at their position" guys like top three guys at their position, which is the mistake the Redskins continually make.

Maybe we can sign Sydney Rice and maybe a Legedu naanee this offseason.
Orton will be the biggest QB FA available IF Denver lets him walk but I doubt they will.
Orton isn't a FA....
