Ok guys now that we have our secondary taken care of who do we get as our linebackers to make our defense sick. Im taking into account that were either drafting a rb or signing one (LT)??? and every other position on our team seems pretty solid. So who do we get at a good cheap price to fill in and play big at LB. Or who do we draft??

I dunno, but I'm giving kudos to Graves and the FO. This offseason has been handled great by them. They didn't jump too early and overpay on anyone.

Ya for sure. I love them not spending huge money on contract year players that are over rated. Thats what im hoping is that we can get some good lbs or dt's for cheap. Like a clark haggans deal or type player

Finally work on extending Dansby LONG TERM?

Signing Q?

Giving ADub his deal?



Id like to see us go after Mike Brown from the bears. Few teams are going to be willing to give him a lot of money because hes always had trouble with injuries, but hes a really good player when hes healthy. I dont think hed cost that much. Hes a local guy (went to Scottsdale Sahuaro HS, i believe) and is good, bring him in!

Yea, but get ADub's deal done before Q. If one player deserves it, it is ADub.

A-dub should go ahead of Boldin and the rest, just to show that whining in the press isn't going to get you anywhere.

But first it's Dansby long term. Free up some capspace.

Would like to see Wright (DT) signed.

Agreed on that.Could Wright be a solid part of the D-line rotation and/or replace Bryan Robinson who while serviceable isn`t getting any younger ( or maybe Dykes or Branch can take Robibsons spot).

Yeah, really serves no purpose keeping him.

They will release him after they draft his replacement. It isn't hurting us by keeping him right now either.

Yes it does. Keeping him tells other teams that we want a RB but aren't desperate. We'll draft or sign one if we like them. Releasing him guarantees that we that we will draft one in the first two rounds.

Re-sign Berry
Re-sign Haggans
Re-sign Beisel
Re-sign T. Smith or sign another FB
Re-sign Ralph Brown
Sign DE – Mike Wright
Sign LS – Mike Leach
Sign a OL
Sign a TE
Sign a RB
Sign a LB
Restructure Okeafer.
Cut Edge
Figure out what to do with Fransisco.

Joeshmo sums it up PERFECTLY....

....Maybe Rod Graves needs a very capable assistant. :)

Graves doesn't want to see that list. He probably thought he was done until draft day :D. That's pretty accurate to do list though.

Warner signing put us around 18.5M under. Then with McFadden around 13.5M under.

Then signing Dansby to a long term deal would save space. As will restructuring Okeafor & releasing Edgerinn will also save at least 5M in space.

So they're able to do more than a few things still.

I totally agree with this list, except I have the answer to one of the questions (least important one of course): Let Francisco compete with the Safety signed from SF, Lewis?, for a roster spot. As far as Okeafor goes, either the Cards think he will be worth 5+M or he will be be cut. We are thin at that position and I don't see him taking a pay cut. (Remember, "Pace of the large $$$" never would have started if not for his injury).
