You know what's worth considering?

[Direckshun]

We have a ton of players with expiring contracts this year.

In addition to the Matt Cassel decision we'll be making at year's end, we're almost certainly losing Brodie Croyle.

Jamaal Charles will be a free agent. Priority A1.

We're also set to have absolutely nothing at center. Both Wiegmann and Niswanger are up.

We're also set to have absolutely nothing at nose tackle. Edwards, up. Smith, up.

Our entire starting linebacking corps is up for contract. Vrabel, DJ, Mays, Hali. That is a huge opportunity to revamp our defense.

Brandon Carr is worth resigning, and he's up.

Also, Mike Cox, Leonard Pope, O'Callaghan, Travis Daniels. Meh.

So this is a big, big year for us after the season. The best player on our offense is up for FA. And we have a chance to drastically remodel this team at QB, C, NT, and all LB positions.

In other words, we have a chance to make this a completely different team in 2011.
