You'd think it would be obvious to us by now that that's how you build a team, but something in the water at Redskins Park had everybody convinced that we are a player or two away from being a consistently winning football team. I think we're changing that mentality this year, although in future years I don't anticipate so many free agent signings.
if we had gone 8-8 or 9-7 it'd mean we probably would need this many players, but our roster was worse than awful and paper thin... galloway? for what? 12 games? *sigh*

Panthers have interest in Carlos Rogers | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/31/panthers-have-interest-in-carlos-rogers/)
IMO he's better of trying to come back here.
seriously? kind of hope he stays - we didn't get Nnamdi or DRC so CB corps could be pretty thin if he leaves.

We definitely did sign a lot of old players last year that had no chance of sticking around for the long term. I think last year Shanny had the mentality that it would take multiple years to rebuild this team in his image and this year would be the year to get most of the bulk of that done, since this year's free agent class was expected to be the youngest and deepest in several years due to how the NFL was set up after the owners opted out of the CBA. Last year was about signing players just to make it through the year. No way guys like Galloway, Holliday, etc. were expected to be here long term. Shanny just didn't want to go into the season with a roster that had very few of his own guys in it. When Vinny/Zorn left they really did leave this team in shambles.

If Cam Newton suprises people this season the Panthers have a good shot at rebounding. Their defense isn't bad, they have a good running game. I think Clausen under center was a big reason why the lost a lot of games last year. If Rogers is looking for a payday and heads to Carolina good luck to him. I'd like to see him back but not on a big money deal.
I wanna see him play WR for the Cowboys.

I'd rather have Antonio Cromartie, unless he already signed.

But only if they give up a first and a third for him.

No, think Ocho. Two firsts....

Oh that's a given.

But that'd be mocking us. I'd rather mock the Cowboys for the Roy Williams trade that actually happened.
