we'll see about those possibles, but they probably should be getting a wr and center into the pipeline in the draft, I'd think.
maybe a safety and corner.

there are always a lot of spots to improve, and it comes down to who they can get in fa at a reasonable price, and what falls to them in the draft that they like.

I know popular sentiment has us picking up lloyd, and obviously there are issues at the edges if we're counting out anderson and carter, although I don't know that those guys are gone.

should be a pretty interesting offseason -- I'm excited about it.
gonna be a long 3 months 'til the draft, but only about a month 'til fa.

No way in hell.


We have a young team and young players tend to be more resilient and bounce back quicker.


Plus the AFC is falling hard.

Colts will be a joke again. Steelers are fading. Chargers are consistent underachievers. Broncos aren't a real threat. Jets have gotten worse and don't believe their own hype anymore.

Only teams to look out for is the Ravens and Texans.

Anybody think we make a move for Reggie Wayne?


He's a Free Agent. Peyton will surely be gone. Wayne doesn't want to go through the whole rebuilding phase at this point in his career. Will want to play for a contender.

Re-sign Welker, Koppen, Connolly and Carter

Sign Brandon Lloyd

Add a WR who can fill Branch's role, or be another middle-deep threat

Add 2 DE/OLBs

Add S

Add CB

Greetings,
I really like James Ihedigbo, just not as a starter though. I think he has a lot to contribute as a special teamer and when you have nobody else to play safety.

you'd think lloyd would be pretty likely depending on the contract he's looking for, and wayne's another possible.

a lot of these guys come down to th edeals they're looking for.

here's a list of 2012 fa

I think Lloyd can be a very solid choice, if his price is reasonable. He would give a 4 across of Lloyd/Welker/Hernandez/Gronk, and would allow the team to look for a 5th WR who could be either a Branch-style replacement or another middle-deep receiver.
