It appears that the marriage between Ellis, Smith, Harper, and possibly Vilma and Henderson may end this year. Would we have the cap space to sign Clif Avril from Detroit and Robert Geathers (Uncle played with us in the late 80's) and possibly Mike Wallace from the Steelers?

Wallace and Avril will probably be tagged again by their teams Or extended

ellis could be back....I don't see much of a market for him.

Harper, well I can't wait for that era to end. Good guy and all.....but shite

-more realistic would be to expect one impact UFA that could be signed.

Love'em or hate'em, with Smith and Harper you will need to have a viable replacements before just sending them packing.

Even though the results aren't what we hoped for so far I think it was one of the better offseasons by Loomis.

We haven't drafted sooner than #24 in four years. If it ends up mid 1st or lower that is a lot of difference in what degree of impact player you can find. That is, many later round 1st picks take some time and need development. Mid and lower you can peg some surefire day one high impact starters.

We aren't getting Mike Wallace. However, I do agree we need to start going for quality in free agency. Granted, Bunkley, Lofton, and Hawthorne aren't exactly small name signings.
