Yo what's up Phin fans! I'm new to the board, been over at finheaven for a while but wanted to switch it up. I posted this over there and just wanna see what everyone thinks and how they'd spend their money. Glad to be on the board. All info via Ben Volin's blog and Overthecap.com Thoughts: We should cut Patterson and Carp. We have huge holes at TE, RT, RG and CB and could use another pass rusher and a blocking tight end because we need a guy who can help Martin in protection. I would keep Marshall, his last full healthy season he was a very solid boundary corner, I think he's just too long a body to play in the slot but can be a solid #2 on the outside. How I'd approach the rest of FA. Edit: And now depending what they do with Wheeler, could have a hole at WLB. Wheeler has played one season there but most of his career at SLB. Was efficient at both spots over his career. Sign TE Fred Davis: He's a solid guy to take a chance on after we missed out on Cook and can stretch the field, bit of a risk but a worthwhile one. We also need more height in our corps which Keller doesn't offer. Plan B: Dustin Keller, NYJ Plan C: Brandon Myers, OAK Sign RT Eric Winston: Perfect fit for our offensive line. Plan B: Barry Richardson, STL Plan C: Go HAM and get Sebastian Vollmer. Plan D: Bring back Nate Garner. Plan E: Geoff Schwartz, MIN Sign RG Brandon Moore: There's other worthy guys but he's the best guy for the job and would solidify the right side of our line if we have the space. Plan B: Kevin Boothe, NYG Plan C: Willie Colon, PIT Plan D: Geoff Schwartz, MIN Sign DE John Abraham: Would be a perfect compliment to Wake if we have the space. Still need to crunch the numbers. Plan B: Osi Umenyiora, NYG Plan C: Dwight Freeney, IND Plan D: Israel Idonije, CHI Sign CB Brent Grimes: Sadly my top 2 guys in Keenan Lewis and Chris Houston are off the market. They would've been perfect, next up would probably be Grimes. Plan B: Antoine Cason, SD Plan C: [B]Tracy Porter, DEN Plan D: [B]Pacman, CIN Could probably use 2 of these guys if we can't land Grimes. [B]Sign RB Ahmad Bradshaw: [/B][/B][/B]Bradshaw is talented, but a big injury risk. I'd roll the dice and give the offense even more options and he's a proven commodity when healthy.[B][B][B] Plan B: [B]Beanie Wells, ARI Plan C: [B]Mike Goodson, OAK I also love [B]Chris Ivory but he got a second round tender... [B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]Then in the draft I would hedge our focus on pass rushers, add another corner or 2, a guard if we don't add a top guy and a receiver. [B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B] Have at it, what would you guys do?

nice breakdown and first post, but we can't sign all those guys. to manage a cap, you have to balance filling some of those holes with draft picks.
