I honestly dont see any shot that we can AFFORD any of these players
Yes we would be. It is an up capped year and we will be able to have a lot of flexibility in free agency. As afar as the these free agents he is suggesting.
Dunta Robinson: Robinson had 6 interceptions in his rookie season, back in 2004. He's had just 7 interceptions in 50 games since then. I understand he has missed a few games this season and played in only 9 games last season, but in 2005 and 2006 he was fully healthy and managed only 3 interceptions in the 32 games over those two seasons. He has also seen his numbers decline in the following categories: sacks, forced fumbles, tackles, and passes defended. Face it, he isn't the big play DB that he looked like he was going to become during his rookie season. In fact, if you look at his numbers, he's really no better than Deltha O'Neal. So no, he isn't anything more than a decent CB, and therefore wouldn't be my first choice to help improve this secondary. I would rather a guy like Dawan Landry. . He played only 2 games this year due to injury, but he is another solid young defensive player. Like McFadden, he plays on a fantastic NFL defense, and has also proven to be a bit of a ball hawk. So, I would go after these guys this offseason. Other than that, I think we will improve the secondary through the draft.
Richard Seymour: After being traded by the Pats to the Raiders, I don't him wanting to come back to the Patriots. This defense needs a younger verison of more of an explosive pass rusher like an Elvis Dumbervil who I would I would go nuts if we got him. I think we could to.
Chad Clifton: I think he would be a good addition at the right price, however I think we need to get younger at LT and with Clifton at 33 and injury prone, I wouldn't really like the signing unless he were to sign for cheap. I would pass here.
Julius Peppers: I'm not attracting by this option at all. He is going to be turning 30 later this month and will be looking for a long term deal at max dollars. His numbers have already been dropping and I expect to that throughout the remainder of his career. I would rather go with an Elvis Dumbervil or Casey Hampton who could plug up the middle with Wilfork. We could address threw the draft if this is the only option out there.
Karlos Dansby: He is really not a pass rusher which is what we need right now. He has only 1.0 sack on the season and would command a big deal. Im not intrested in him. I would rather a guy like Rocky Mcintosh or Gary Brackett, two very good guys who are playmakers and Brackett is a bit of a ball hawk. Those guys attract me more then Dansby does.
