Gaz,
I'm beginning to think the best chance we have of turning this thing around is if CP goes to San Diego. This seems like an obvious thing for him to do. SD would improve immediately, and KC would have a chance at a fresh start. I am afraid that CP won't fire Gun, that one or two ASSistants will do. I don't mind if CP stays as long as a new competent, proven HC is brought in (from outside the organisation). If this wish is fulfilled, I can be convinced we can make the playoffs while continuing to retool next season. As it stands right now, we are a HB and a good coaching staff away from 12-4 IMO.
Re #2. Dillon will be terribly expensive now (probably commanding 6-8m/yr), and Cincy have the cash to give him. We can't compete with that unfortunately. I'd like Garner for the predicted $4m per. He's small, so we'll have to get away from our big back mentality :eek: in order to sign him, but it should be done. A cheaper back I like a lot is Michael Pittman. He is [b]extremely[/b] quick, but small and maybe a bit injury-prone. I wouldn't want Barber so much, he didn't seem to do anything until Thunder came along, but I am not that familiar with him to be honest.
Re #3. I can't see us being able to afford to take the cap-hit you propose, given our current situation. Somebody on another thread said it would amount to c.$7m. Shame.
I think you're right on with #4-6.
