If any of you remember me posting here about 2 years ago you will remember I am not a big fan of Ralph Wilson. But a couple weeks ago when he was inducted into the HOF I saw a man truly shocked and more importantly humbled. Ralph's issue has been MONEY, plain and simple. The question is, is this the off season he finally cuts loose the purse strings and splurges in the open market to get this team back in the playoffs?
I want to think yes. We all know his family doesn't want this team, he knows he has made a decision with Jauron that has further alienated the fan base. He must do SOMETHING to get us as fans back and get this team back to winning ways. This is THE off season to do it. I believe we are at 26 million in normal cap room with another 10 mill available due to LTBE and NLTBE bonus' not met (clump can you clarify?) NOW is the time to make a splash and a Huge one. but what will it take to finally get us back to the playoffs? Here is what I would do in my opinion...
I trade the 11th pick for Hanesworth or Peppers when they are franchised. IF peppers isn't franchised, I still make him the highest paid D player in the league to come here. Bottom line I don't feel there is anyone at 11 that is better value than either one of these, so I don't mind giving up picks to get immediate talent. We need a pass rush upgrade BADLY even if Schobel comes back 100%.
Upgrade Center. Jeff Saturday is out there as is a couple other vets I think. But Saturday would really help Trent out and the rest of this OL.
TE. I go after a quality TE. We need to give Trent that pass catching threat that needs to be his #1 target. Fans forget, the KGUN wasn't named after Jim Kelly, but after Keith McKellar.
WR. Time to quit screwing around with the midget patrol and rookies. NOW is the time to make the playoffs. Get a Good quality Veteran in here to take some real pressure off of Lee Evans.
OLB. We need an upgrade bad. We need someone that can truly take on a TE or rush the passer.
Safety. Get a Strong safety in here and let Whitner roam the field like Palamalu(sp).
Those are just ideas but you get the point. for many reasons that even Ralph himself can agree to, it is time to spend that cap money and spend big! This team needs a drastic influx of veteran talent so we can finally make it back to the post season.
