Yes, CP used to sell very well that we were a player or two away. Even the casual fan knows that is not the case now, no matter what CP says or his minions write.
I have long since let go of any disappointment that we did not resign Donnie Edwards. Upon first thought of us maybe resigning him early in the offseason, I did not like it as we need to get younger and rebuild.
However, I think it is pretty much universally known that as long as Carl Peterson is the GM, we are not going to go through back to back 4-12 seasons and do a full rebuild and draft a solid core of players that will eventually gives us a legitimate shot at a SB Title.
Given where we are at now, I am okay with resigning Donnie Edwards to a two year contract. He would do a good job at playing the outside LB spot putting us in the spot to wave goodbye to Kendrell Bell. That would give us a couple of good years to look to other positions of need in the draft, and we could eventually draft and groom a replacement as previously posted in this thread.
Why would anyone think we would go to a 3-4? Herm is a 4-3 Cover 2 guy. He would be tickled pink if we were just like the 99 Bucs and lost in the conference championship game 11-6. Once we rebuild a solid defense, he just might have Shaun King on speed dial and bring him out of retirement. Who knows.
