BMoney 0 Posted December 8, 2008 TT IMO will make more moves this year. Hopefully on the O and Dlines big time. brace yourself...as it went so well last offseason.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 720 Posted December 8, 2008 brace yourself...as it went so well last offseason.... After last season, there was less of a need to do so. Now you have Clifton looking like maybe 1 year left in the tank. Tauscher is a free agent. KGB gone, Jenkins recovering from a major injury. The next step is also the LBs.

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted December 8, 2008 TT IMO will make more moves this year. Hopefully on the O and Dlines big time. If you really believe Thompson will all of a sudden become a big mover and shaker in free agency then you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. I don't know how many times I have to mention it but Thompson hates free agency! Specifically big name free agents. Thompson would much rather build through the draft and continue on his five year plan of creating a Super Bowl champion than pay a free agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thompson would much rather build through the draft and continue on his five year plan of creating a Super Bowl champion than pay a free agent. Mover and shaker? No. But he will fill holes IMO. He hates overspending early in free agency. He hates just using it as a way to build the team. He has paid free agents and ones that were ranked high at their positions. Woodson, Pickett, Chillar, Manuel (he ended up sucking but was considered a top 3 free agent safety that year). In addition to spending the money to lock up his own players and Kampman when he was a free agent. He also went after guys like Arrington but lost out because NY paid way too much for him. I think he will still rely mostly on the draft. But with Tauscher's injury and Clifton declining quicker than excpected...there could be more noise made by him this year. I don't think he will go crazy...but I think he does more than in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
