Re: RI: What Moves Will Offseason Bring?
I'm definitely on the Jordan Gross bandwagon. He's 28 (not old....'though not young), I know this may sound crazy, but we could put him at LT and move Samuels to RT. This would be huge in protecting JC from pass rushing DEs in both sides. Also, this big of a signing would show the team's commitment to vastly improving the offensive line.
On the defensive side of the ball, if the cap permits, I would sign Rocky Bernard and possibly Karlos Dansby (although Dansby could become expensive if AZ goes to the SB). If not Dansby, then we may have some options...Bart Scott or maybe Eric Barton...although those two have played in the 3-4 defense. I"m sure we could find a serviceable LB to replace Washington.
There has been talks on this site about possible trades...JLC seems to be talking up a Rogers trade, in our fantasy world we are talking about Moss. I think getting a second rounder would be pretty big. I think best case scenario would be to trade down 13th for a low 1st round and a 3rd rounder. This would give us a low 1st, 2nd rounder, and two 3rd rounders. We could use these to look at inside lineman (Center/Guards) and defensive linemen.
Once again, I'm not going to say that this WILL and MUST happen, this is just my ideal situation. There are many questions about who will be cut, what cap implications this will have and what will the team do to get under the cap. There is also the big question of if these trades can happen. I think one big FA signing, and two regular FA signings would not be bad for this team. I do hope they do something to get more than the 4 picks they have now.
