QB - Matt Cassel

LB – Channing Crowder, Angelo Crowell, Karlos Dansby, Michael Boley, Leroy Hill, Mike Peterson, Andra Davis, and Jonathan Vilma are some of the free agent LBs that would be available.

DE – Julius Peppers and Terrell Suggs

OL – Vernon Carey, Mark Tauscher, John St. Clair, Mike Goff, Jason Brown, Matt Birk, and Eric Heitmann

Of these names, I’d pick two or three of the following; Jason Brown, (Julius Peppers or Terrell Suggs), Jonathan Vilma, and Matt Cassel.

How many times do we have to say this?

It's not a one year rebuild. Period. I don't want to be like Miami. That's a .500 team next year at best. We aren't playing the two worst divisions in football, we've got a ruinous schedule, we'd be lucky to go 8-8 even with a huge infusion of talent that would still hamper the long term interests of the team. If you want to add 2 or 3 complementary players at positions like Guard or Linebacker, that's cool, but don't think that anything is going to get this team to compete next year, because it isn't happening.
