Looking at clumps numbers, we are essentially screwed as for as upgrading this team.
7.5 mill? Now allocate 1.5 minimum for the rookie cap (oh yeah, folks forgot about that!) and we have 6 mill to spend. Out of 6 mill we need the following...
Backup QB
STARTING Left Tackle
Backup RB
More OL help
Better #3 WR
Tight End help.
Not going to happen. What you see, minus Pat Williams, is what you will get.
My guess is this, We do the sheldon trade because we have no choice. No way we get a LT for anywhere near 3 mill per and NO Signing bonus. Either Shane Mathews is the backup or some washed up Neil O'donnell type will come in.
Backup RB? Not too sure who we can afford. I know I am not happy with S. Williams carrying the ball every down for 3-4 games if Willis gets hurt.
We still need more TE help as we don't have a starter one on this team regardless of what some fans think. TD and MM know this.
We have no #3 WR worth a crap and they know that too.
Pat Williams? No way in hell do we resign him. Too many needs on Offense. Why the hell did we Draft Anderson and why the hell extend Edwards contracts? it's time to PLAY these guys on a full time basis.
long story short, Unless a couple of players have contracts redone, Mike Williams, TKO, there is no way in hell we can get done what we need to on Offense this year. IF we re sign Pat williams we will be a top 3 D again....and miss the playoffs AGAIN this next year.
