Except when you look at the fact the Bengals will have to spend 60+ million in actual salary just to get to the floor and the Bucs are going to have to spend 70+ million to reach the floor.

Now if I’m a GM for those two teams first thing I do is take care of every one of my own players but that leaves a HUGE load of cash that is going to have to go into FA.

This could be a year where all the best FA’s go to 2 or so teams just because that team not only has the ability but also has a requirement to spend.

Resign Hasselbeck, and Mebane

CB Jonathen Joeseph

DE Cullen Jenkins/Charles Johnson ->Panthers are close to same boat as Cincy and will need to spend so won’t come cheap

LG Davin Joeseph Bucs ->same as us good shape in cap with money to spend so another tough sign.
Harvey Dahl-> Back up plan for Joesph

WR Malcom Floyd Big fast deep threat to stretch the field and got to cut costs somewhere so sorry all you guys who want Rice

FB Vonta Leach/Le Ron Mclain need a road grader for a power run game

Would also sign as free agent rookies
DT Martin Parker/Cedric Thornton
DE Brandon Bair
DT/FB Matangi Tonga 6′ 3″ 290 4.7 40 and has soft hands out of the backfield with ability to play both sides of the line.
WR Terrance Toliver/Jeff Maehl
C Kristofer Odowd
OL Willie Smith/Zach Hurd /Justin Boren/David Mims

“I did the dirty work and I did my job. I definitely outworked my pay while making people around me better, and that’s what I do.”

Sure Milloy, You can put your numbers up to anybody out there last year. And of course you definitely outworked your pay while making people around you better.
Problem is that the people you made better were the ones you tried to cover! And here I thought it was just Greg Olsen making a great play. It never dawned on me until now that it was just you making the people around you look better.
And those are words comming out of a veteran team leaders mouth? Where’s the humility?appreciation? Or at least the truth?

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always loved Milloy, but like you said, he is such a competitor that he’s not just going to sit there and mentor. He also has definitely lost a step and got burned a lot last year. That happens and I understand all too well. I’m now 40, still in the military, and have had to admit that I just can’t do some things like I used to at the same level.

We need to clear the way for those young guys you mentioned and see what they’ve got. I’m not saying one of those guys will be the next Ronnie Lott, but if I’m not mistaken, SF started a couple of rookies in their secondary that year. I can’t wait to see how they do and how all that youth, speed, height, & hard hitting adds to our game. I’d still love to pick up Nnamdi, but am
looking forward to seeing Browner and Thurmond after his full recovery as well.

Always been a big fan of Lawyer. the definition of class act. even after he just jaw jacked you from completion to fumble.
