Rice sucked last year but he's a good player. I'm not sure they could do better than him.

Salary Cap 130 million instead of 123 million. How much more quality can we get with 7 million more in salary cap space?

Should help us get someone like Eric Decker or Jeremy Maclin instead of Brandon LaFell or Riley Cooper.

We need to add someone who can return the ball too, maybe McCluster or Jacoby Jones.

im not buying on decker. it may be short sighted of me but i think peyton makes guys look better than their ability really is and im weary of guys playing with great people around them and expecting their production to not drop with a new team.

kinda like linebackers with the ravens. i dont think bart or kruger have lived up to the expectations after they left the ravens.

Decker is going to want crazy money. I'd stay away from that.
LaFell would be my main target in FA.
Cooper would be nice too.

Cue the ridiculous, "Not Cooper, because he is racist" comments.

I agree with you, Cooper would be nice.

^^ I'm with you guys. Decker disappeared in the biggest game yet will want elite money. No Decker.

We could use our top pick on a WR and get more bang for the buck than with signing Decker.

I also thought the same about Garçon, BUT the Decker argument is a little different in that he also plays with Welker, D Thomas, and J Thomas.

If we can get a guy I would like it to be Edleman. No to Cooper and no to a big contract for Decker.

Edleman in the slot with Garçon and Hankerson/Robinson on the outside sounds pretty good to me.

dang, yeah the garcon card is a great rebuttal to the "peyton cures cancer" argument. i can hedge it a bit with the opinion (like you said) that decker had a better receiving corps than garcon with the colts. but you can hedge that with the argument that decker then had to share more touches with the other bronco receivers. my intellect is truly dizzying.

truth be told i didnt think garcon would be this good or this physical.

Julius Peppers, De Marcusd Ware and BJ Raji ... show me what you got...

I think Peppers would demand too much.

Ware would be fun to have on our side finally after he's tortured us for so long if the price is reasonable.

I'd LOVE to have Raji at NT for us.

It's not about going on a spending spree cause we've all seen how well that's worked around here. It's about getting the right guys who fit your blueprint. Not really even sure we have a true blueprint. But I would say no thanks to Raji, Peppers and Decker.

It was not expected to be 123, it was expected to be 126 and change.

It's a 3.5M boost in cap space, not 7M.
