We still have a 5th round pick which could be used for a good punter or we could go after someone via trade/FA. I'm sure there will be someone.
I think all of these signings could be done for relatively reasonable amount of money without screwing our cap (except the Kearse deal). They are also targeting Deon Grant of the Panthers and maybe they'd take Udeze instead of Taylor in the draft.
As to the idea of getting Wistrom, while I like it, he's going to be very expensive and doesn't give us the pass rush we need (like Kearse will).

I'm sorry, but, am I the only one who expresses concern at an article like this that basically tells the world what our plans are?
Is this a direct quote from Gibbs? Or is it a writer's prediction?
If I were any other team, especially in our division, I would make at least an attempt to snatch up exactly the players that are mentioned.

It's probably just speculation based on incomplete information. I don't think that too many teams outside our conference will alter their plans based on ours and I doubt those in our division will significantly alter theirs. Most people already know who's out there, where we have needs, and what our probable plans are anyways.
Besides, this info would be leaked as soon as we got into negotiations with the players' agents since the agents always look to start bidding wars.

That article looks more like a wish list. I think that they have no real clue who they will draft untill they know who they will sign in free agency. We could only hope to get half of those free agents.

and a whole lot healthier too.i like kearse,but we ar dancing with the devil with respect to his injuries in the past.No Wistrom? I think he'd be a great fit and would be much cheaper than Kearse.

I like Pierce as well. He's played well the times that he has gotten to play.

Kearse is a budget buster who has missed 14 of the last 32 games to injury.
