Um I am not sure why we as fans are surprised we have not signed anyone to big deals.
In case any of you missed the past three months both Chan and Buddy have said several times that they will not sign high priced guys in FA and would rather resign their own players (see Scott and working on a deal with Wilson).
Lastly we hire as an assistant GM the pro player personal director of the Pittsburgh steelers who notoriously are inactive during any FA, and still you are surprised.
Let me spell the plan out for you guys, we will sign some guys after the storm has died down and FA looking for unreal money are signed. We will be signing depth players, role players, and older vets.
Draft, if you think we are going to draft for need please find a new team. Doug Whaley said it best in the article Allen Wilson wrote about a week or two ago. We are going to resign our guys, try to fill holes with mid to low priced FA, and draft our superstars. The last part says it all right there, we will draft Best Player Available and will not draft for need.
In other words those fans with allusions of us being good next year need to get their acts together and realize we are going to more than likely not be a good team and will be picking top 5 in 2011. However, hopefully the team starts to look a little better by the end of the season and we hope to finish around the 8-8 mark in 2011, and then playoffs in 2012.
THAT IS THE PLAN!!!
Sorry to burst you guys optimism for next year but it is what it is.
A perfect example would be last years jags team they played just about every rookie and second year player they had, and they got better by seasons end. That is what we need to hope for this year.
