We've parted with players that I felt we need to parted with.

We've retained the players I wanted to retain.

We made signings that I never saw coming.

And we're not even to the draft yet.

It's 10000x better than anything we could have expected when the season ended.

Best under Payton so far and it's not close. If we have a strong draft .. fap

Best personally for me...I didnt come to truly appreciate the 06 Class till I got a chance to see Drew come back from injury along with seeing the draft gems display their value...hope is all we really had...plus dumping Stallworth for a bag of potato chips and starting an almost undrafted WR didnt look promising.

I like every move made so far. Of course you wanna keep sproles, but that's the nature of the beast. And the falcon/eagle/various nfl team butthurt fans have made it extra enjoyable.

It's looking extremely strong. Certainly one of Payton's best, if not the best. I'm extremely excited for the draft and the season.

Considering where we were/are on the cap, it's unbelievable what the FO has done. I'm most impressed that Payton has decided to cut players that were not living up to their contracts. Doesn't bode well for some guys next season.

Wasn't Harper awesome early on then got injured?

Any ways you have to add Bringing in Sean Payton to 06 as well.. then we went straight to the NFC championship in their first year

I would have liked to keep Moore, Sproles, and Harper one more year, but not at their price. Everyone else, yeah their time was up.

PT was the one bubble guy I really didn't want to lose. So glad we kept him and him came back cheap. Strief was also huge. J. Graham was also necessary.

Humber, Haralson, Dawson, S. Graham, Bush, Morgan, and McCown(for insurance) are all very nice complementary pieces.

I remember me and blues and a few others saying how Byrd would be a dream signing but was unrealistic.

Lorig seems like an upgrade and this Ball kid looks like he has skills. Bailey out of nowhere was nice.

There's more?

Might not bode well for some guys this season depending on who we draft and how well they do.

Lots of guys go from uncuttable(or not really worth it) to very cuttable come June 1st.

He was pretty damn good. After 06-07', we were saying the samethings we are saying about Vaccaro this year.
