What do you think your team will do in this off-season with FA/Draft/etc..

For the Browns, in the first round, I'd say we have 3 choises we should look over. Chris Wells (OSU RB), Ray Maualuga (USC LB) or Malcolm Jenkins (CB OSU). All 3 play the position of our needs, and are the best available at there respective positions. Either way, we must get a fast linebacker who can tackle, because we don't have one beside DQwell Jackson. Maualuga is almost a perfect fit for our needs but he might not be there, either way, I would love one of the 3, they would make an immediate impact and give our fans some hope for the future...

In the off-season total, we need to get rid of Anderson, pick up any pick we can get, if we can get a first rounder for Winslow, jump on that, but only if we can get a sure handed WR in FA, because right now Winslow is the only guy on our team who can catch.

And lastly, hire Bill Cowher or Marty Schottenheimer.

I've already heard some rumors that the Giants may pursue WR Anquan Boldin. Not much about it yet, but we all know he's had issues with the Cardinals. And I think while he's in Arizona, no matter how long he stays side-by-side with Fitz, he'll always be looked at as the #2 guy.

I think Arizona said they have the CAP to re-sign him, but I think he'll test the market.

I dont see him as a Money kind of guy, I think it really depends on where he's from, and where he wants to go, and who wants him. I think the Giants will make a big push. Ah.. think about it...
Boldin
Smith
Toomer
Hixon
Boss.

Also I think the GIants know they have to keep Jacobs, so they'll re-sign him. Jacobs even said he doesnt care for the money, he wants to play with the Giants, and Tiki said he's confident that the G-Men will come to terms with him. I mean, after how they've used him, do you really want to go up AGAINST the weapon you created? lol.

I think the Giants might also pursue a Linebacker. They might use Kiwanuka as traid bait. I love the guy at DE, never liked him at OLB. He's a Defensive End, plain and simple. Once Umenyiora's back, you know they'll ever ship him off or put him at LB, which is dumb because he didn't fit that well. THey might use him to get a WR, an OL (I think if they ship off any OL, its McKenzie or possibly Diehl) or a solid LB. DE's and OL are becoming so important nowadays, I think team's would cough up a lot for a guy like McKenzie orKiwanuka.

or.. Tollefson? Our backup DE? THat'd be interesting. I def. dont see Cofield and Robbins going anywhere.

I hope Boldin doesn't become available... 'Cause then you know Philly, New York, and Washington would be trying to take him. Bad news if you're a Dallas fan. If T.O. weren't there then maybe we'd try to get him, too.

As for what Dallas needs.... I don't really know. Maybe replace #38 Roy Williams? Secondary is decent, but if there were a weak link - it'd be him. Or a defensive end, somebody that can get to the opponent QB.. Ware shouldn't be the only one that gets to him. I don't how much better we can get in that department though, as we lead the league in sacks.

RB isn't a problem. Nor is TE, QB, or WR. Maybe replace Gurode, he's annoying with all the high snaps. One of which led to a safety against NY. Consider getting rid of Flozell, he's annoying with all the false starts... The rest are good - other than Holland. Haven't seen much of him play, but they always have somebody new at that position every year.

Oh boy, the Lions off-season.

I'm hoping we take a QB in the 1st round, aswell as an O-Lineman.
Just cleaning house. I really can't even predict.

Rod Marinelli will be fired. Not an idea where we go though.

I think the Giants need a big time WR and Plax's loss showed us how vulnerable we can be. I would be extremely satisfied with Boldin, he is a tough hard nosed kind of player we need. I dont trade the OL because they are great at what they do. I work on the LB core once again. I think we need a more dynamic LB who can drop into pass coverage more.

It's because he's not as fast as the RB's hes matched against, and a lot of the time hes in zone. I hate zone, I think LB's should be in Man but thats my opinion. Or at least Pierce, he gets burned every now and then because he'll be back in zone watching the RB and suddenly the TE comes by and hes gotta chase the guy down.

I've noticed Pierce get burned out more often since the whole Burress thing. idk what it is, but hes gotta get his head on straight and pay attention a lil more.

Cowboys off-season plans.


1. Fire Wade Phillips!
2. Promote Jason Garrett to Head Coach.
3. Draft a young BIG offensive tackle/guard.
4. Draft a Safety so we can get rid of #38 Roy Williams.
5. Pick up a good back-up Quarterback to Tony Romo.

Send over a pick to Cleveland for Derek Anderson. Pretty sure Dallas has our 3rd rounder, wouldn't mind having it back lol.

Seahawks should snag Crabtree in the first round (if he declares for the draft) if he doesn't then probably take the best tackle available since Walter is getting old (and just had surgery, i think knee but i forgot at the moment) plus the rest of our OL is injury plagued and shaky.

Then we need to think about drafting a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round because Hasselbeck has only so many years left in him and Seneca is not the QB of the future.

Hopefully we can sign an OLmen and possibly bring in a WR. We are a solid team but had a horrible injury plagued season. Also we should think about replacing Grant and Russel at safety, they are both getting up there in years.

Ya I think that they'll get a QB to backup, maybe Anderson; but I'm thinking more along the lines of a Veteran. Let's be honest, Romo aint going anywhere for a long time, so Anderson's a no-go.

Yeah a vet like Kerry Collins. Now that would be nice.

not to be mean, but Wells is by FAR not the best available RB in the draft. CLE needs help on OL and defense more then anything - I can see CB for them. Wait until the 3rd or 4th to get a RB -- unless the RB is a proven top 5 pick, get em late, ala Steve Slaton

Chiefs

1) Hire Scott Pioli
2) Get involved in Bill Cowher race if you can. If not, just fire Herm and get a fresh face to lead the team.
3) Draft Brian Orakpo, CJ Spiller in 2nd
4) Trade LJ if you can

You are kidding, right? I don't see how Wells is not the best, he has the perfect combo of speed and power, his size is amazing for how fast he can run, against LSU, he was breaking 6 yard gains basically every play and they were stacking the box with defenders.. Our offensive line was so bad this year at OSU, and with no passing attack to help, he still played great.. There is no doubt in my mind he is the #1 RB available, only health issues keep him back.

I agree, we need help in those places, but we still are missing a feature back, and when you have a stud like Wells available to you, its hard to pass him up, we already passed Adrian Peterson up, I don't want to make the same mistake again on a RB.

Lol at ForReal. Ur little "Head Coach waiting in the wings" there, Jason Garrett...is just as much to blame as Wade Phillips for the pee-poor results as of late.

I will tell you some things I expect to see this off-season:
- Sam Bradford is the #1 pick in the draft.
- Brett Favre spends another 3/4 of the off-season "thinking about it".
- Matt Cassel is the most sought after FA QB
- Larry Johnson is traded
- Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb are both out in Philly.
- The departure of Monty Kiffin will spell the end of Ronde & Brooks in Tampa
- Zack Thomas and Jason Taylor again look for new teams
- Wade Phillips is fired, Jason Garrett not given the head coaching gig
- Rod Marinelli, Jim Zorn, Dick Jauron, Herm Edwards, and Romeo Crennell all fired
- Bill Cowher, Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Fassell, Jim Mora Jr, and Rex Ryan all hired
- Chad Johnson finally parts ways with the Bengals
...and here's the shocker...
- T.O. is out of Dallas
