23 million dollars guaranteed money gone.....
Gene Smith is the man!
Our new GM just said indirectly that you help the team or your off the team!
money became a non-factor bc performance was so bad.
the problem with this is now WR is an even bigger need with Reggie Williams likely leaving in free agency, Jerry Porter cut, and who knows if Mike Walker is really 100%. I believe he is, but his knee, i dont know well see
currently we have
Matt Jones, tall and lanky possession guy with no yac yardage
Dennis Northcutt, drops a lot but runs good routes and can get seperation
Mike Walker, 3rd rounder two years ago who missed rookie season and played well in spurts including a 100 yard game against the steelers
Troy Williamson, speed speed and more speed...no hands
we need another one from somewhere, most likely the draft after round 2.
Defensive Back
We absolutely have to draft one, a good one
Mathis (CB) cant cover the whole field
Sensabaugh (SS) might leave in Free Agency
Williams (CB/SS) cant play both spots
so we need a starting SS and starting CB
Defensive Line
Rob Meier cant be Marcus Stroud
John Henderson is not in his prime
Rookie DE's should get good (Harvey, Groves)
So primary focus is on DT
Linebackers
if they are comfortable with Darryl Smith switching from OLB to MLB, then we have no need to replace Mike Peterson with Clint Ingram moving into Darryl Smith's spot but im sure depth is something they want
Offensive Line
Brad Meester (C) will be a free agent.
Dennis Norman (C) his backup is available, and i know hes not as good, but ive heard hes more physical
so look for a center to be drafted maybe later
It appears that Khalif Barnes (LT) will walk in free agency this year, now we have no starter
need one, i hope we get one in FA or we will be need drafting which is what Gene Smith said would not happen. No big FA spending and BAP drafting
Off-season needs are
Starting
CB,WR,DT,SS
possible MLB,C
Line Depth on both sides
not good........
oh yeah, favre retired
