It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I know we're still in the play off hunt and there are more pressing matters at hand but how are we strapped cap wise going into free agency this year? Do we have any chance of nabbing Terrell Suggs, Julius Peppers, or Nmandi Asomugha?
Yeah me too, I want Suggs more than any free agent I've ever wanted in the pastPeppers might not be franchised, at least thats what a good number of Panther fans believe. Hes really been up and down lately. Add to the fact they just extended Gamble, they're tight on cash.I'm not crazy about Peppers.
Suggs is my binky. I'd die if they put him on this front 7, that just wont happen most likely.

I'm suprised more people don't want Asomugha. I'd love it if they could pick him up but know they probably wouldn't spend the money he is going to get.

Can we stop talking about people we have absolutely NO CHANCE of getting!:snob: People all those players are going to command the Highest $$$ at their respective positions. How long have you guys been watching the Patriots and how they operate in FA? They are not going to outbid any Teams for any player. The Players themselves would have to want to come here ie...Colvin and AD. That said Nine times out of Ten the players go to whoever throws them the most $$$ bet on it it won't be us.
Well, Asomugha seems pretty tired of playing for a loser team like the Raiders. He called out his teammates after a loss. He might take a more cap friendly deal to go to a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Suggs might be swayed by AD to come and take a more cap friendly deal like AD did. I don't know if it is impossible that the Pats sign at least those two. It isn't all that likely, but far from impossible.
The only one IMO who has any sort of remote chance is Suggs, as BB/Pioli seem most willing to spend FA $ on LB's. It would only happen with a huge NE discount which is very unlikely to happen with this being his big chance at a payday.
Regardless, I think our cap $ would be best served franchising/trading Cassell and to extending Mankins and big Vince
Rob? don't you think Al Davis would have to die for Asomugha to leave the Raiders? Also CB's traditionally make out like bandits if they are tagged. With that said i don't think Asomugha is going anywhere. I am huge fan of Suggs but i just think we are going to have a shot at him. With quite a few Teams playing 3-4 now he might get swayed by the $$$$.
