You need to listen how to fix your team, because what you have been doing is not working.
First of you need to redo Gross contract, he is past 30 years of age and takes a huge cap hit. Secondly you need to TRADE SOME OF YOUR PLAYERS. Notice how its capatilized, well thats because no one trades any more. I know you will take some small cap hits on tradeing players with there contracts, but just look at it as if you signed another player. For example we all know D-will has to go well trade him for a 3rd round pick, since we dont have one anyways. I would like a 2nd but thats not likly, and the cap hit will be small amount trading him. There is Beason aswell and you could get a 1st or 2nd for him easly wih his age. We good at LB without him and he will cost a arm and leg to keep him. Please trade him,because he came into the league money hungry. Wait a minute I would also trade Gamble aswell for atleast a 2nd or 3rd. He is getting up there in age and we need to do like the PATS and get something for these vets before they leave. YOU ;Mr. RICHERSON should have learned that from the Peppers thing. If you get rid of those 3 and redo Gross contract you should be fine next year. You may have enough to get a free agent out there, but if you dont your set for next season with cap flexability and a good young core.
NOW what would I do with signing 1 free agent and those draft picks. This all depends on the weak spots on the team which are in order O-line,FS,DT,WR,CB. Well if you can muster enough money to sign Bowe this would give us a power house vertical threat for a few years untill Smith retires and could take over for him aswell. With the first pick I would pick a good DT witch are plentyful this year in the draft. The D-line would be set then and the only thing lacking on the D would be a FS and CB depth behing the Captain and Norman. Oh yeah we made a trade and we now have 2 2nd round picks. These picks are easy you pick a O-lineman and a FS. The only thing lacking on this team now are a backup LB,HB,CB,G, and you have 2 3rd's a 4rth,5th and 6th rounds to use on backups. O yeah spend some dam money on a good kicker. So come on Jerry and hire me Jay Morgan to take you to the promise land, you dont have that much more time and you need some body that is creative, thats me for sure.espn.com
