Ok.. I know I am new here but I have been a lurker for at least 2 years and post sometimes on KFFL ..

But I was checking this article out and thought this offseason reminds me of the 02 season. Where we were extremely active Harrison/Colvin/Poole etc.. w/ such a weak class of free agents and our team still needing to fill some holes could BB pull a rabbit out of his hat and give up our 2 late first rounders for the BEST free agent out there..

We have the cap space to really target 2 or 3 impact players...

Ok I am awaiting

Yeah, thats crazy. The guy doesn't even fit the 3-4. If we're gonna go bat***** insane over somebody, it should be Adalius.

Over $7.2 million and two 1sts for a Will linebacker?

lol that didn't take long..

I had heard that rumour too.. didn't realize it was published.. seems kind of foolish especially when a good 3-4 team could really shell out the cash for him..

Ok the dream is over thanks for the reality check guys

Rather trade a 4th or 5th for jason babin, bring in antwan peek, pick up joey porter, draft deossie in the third, bishop in the fifth now were set at linebacker for the next few years.

Mine might be crazier more transactions.

What kind of impact are those two late first rounders going to make next year? and won't we save that money from the first rounders for others? I am just trying to think outside the box..

In a bid for Briggs it will be just one team you are bidding against .. A. Thomas bids will be thru the roof..

You think that A. Thomas is better than Briggs? Remember R. Phifer was our Will and he really was the key to the those SB runs..

i'd have to disagree and sayit was a fired up athletic younger teddy, and a beast of willie mac in his prime, with a sick secondary.

just my 2 cents
