With all the Larry Fitzgerald talk I thought he was a FA.

Bryant Johnson looks good.

3/3/2006: Signed a restructured contract through 2008. 2007: $5.535 million, 2008: $6.5 million, 2009: Free Agent. Peppers counts nearly $15 million against the salary cap in 2007.

That's what Rotoworld has...

So all this time people have been talking him up as a FA and he is actually signed until 2009?



Great...

it's a crazy/dream/fantasy thought to think Julius Peppers or Terrell Suggs will actually hit the FA market as UFAs

but if it was somehow the case, throw as much $$ as needed to either or both of them!!!!

anyone else notice Moss on that list?

If the Pats don't resign him (highly unlikely, but possible), do you see him coming back to purple?

Moss will never come back. And Peppers has an opt-out part of his contract. Mucho like hemorrhoid (A-Rod)

But for realistic options at WR, here is my rankings.

1. Crayton
2. Berrian
3. Johnson
4. Hackett
5. Porter
6. Either Carolina Receiver
7. Andre Davis/Devery Henderson

I wouldn't mind Eugene Wilson and Randall Gay. They are both very good and with Pats taking Meriweather, he has a good chance to not be re-signed. I would love to make Bellichick even more angry.

Overall thoughts for the off-season:

First things first, Brad Childress must go! Safe to say that things haven’t panned out and he’s lost the lockeroom. Next, hire Marty Schottenheimer as the new head coach. Marty is someone that I’ve always thought the Vikings would hire one day. He’s a great coach who can’t win the “big one” (sound like the history of the Vikes). Let him clean house if he wants to. Next trade a second or third rounder for Donovan McNabb. He’s only 30 and he’s still got lot’s left. Derek Anderson could also be another option, anybody but Jackson. Next get McNabb a reciever and Bryant Johnson seems like a good fit. He ain’t going back to Arizona and he’s obviously an upgrade. My dream would be for us to trade for Larry Fitzgerald, but I don’t see that happening. On defence we could really use a better pass rushing threat and Jared Allen is solid. He’s a big guy with double digit sack potential.

Thoughts???
