  • I do like Suggs AS A PLAYER.

    It's whether we have the $/cap space to spend big in Free Agency yet again, whether we have the desire to either switch schemes or invest more $ into an end, or even if Suggs would leave his situation in BAL to come here that I question.

    I'm assuming cap space is manageable. As for whether he would come, I would expect that to depend alot on the coaching situation. I think we really need to iron that out as soon as possible if we want to be fully prepared for free agency and the draft.

  • Do you see us having another shot at someone as good as him in the next 2-3 years?

    Personally, if we think DE is a place we need to upgrade, I'd rather draft Orakpo.

    Couldn't agree more. Nobody wants to walk into an undefined situation, especially via Free Agency.

    Orakpo and the current roster, or Suggs, the current roster, and the #8 overall pick in the draft?

    I have to go with the latter.

  • Guess it all comes down to who you prefer at #8. If we could get Curry (or maybe Maualuga or Mays, I'm undecided on those guys over a guy like Orapko) at 8, then I'd agree with you. Problem is, Curry will probably be gone, and I think Orapko is the next BPA, as like I said I'm unsure about Rey or Mays...

  • Curry and Crowder are my preferences....but if Curry is gone...Orakpo and Crowder would be fine. Then pick up Chung in rd 2 and try to get Jasper Brinkley (see Rey Maualuga minus the hype).

  • We will have some cap problems. We spent a lot on Rogers, Williams and Stallworth last year. Jones is a FA and we have some guaranteed contracts that will cost us if we dumps some of these bums.

    But, I would love Suggs

  • We had cap left after last offseason, with room reserved for KW and BE which I doubt they will be getting access to after the season theyve had. We free up almost $7 million if DA is gone by March. Then there is the normal few million in roster turnover. We can also renogotiate a couple contracts if need be (JLewis comes to mind).

    With potential for a cap free 2010, Suggs could also be looking at a deal structured to hit big after year 1.

  • stallworth's gone. don't have to worry about that deal anymore.

    the best thing about BE's slump is we might be able to knock some dollars off his deal b/c we're sticking with him through a rough patch.

    and i think lewis is definitely gone. he'll have his deal altered at the very least so he won't hurt our cap nearly as much.

    The way this team has played there better be more than few willing to play for less. Anyway of making RAC work off his salary in a different posotion than head coach? Like maybe locker room assistant.

    The Vikings could have used him as their towel boy yesterday as the owner was giving his victory speech in the locker room.
