Do bring on tom clements as the offensive coordinator

Do promote todd bowles as the defensive coordinator

Do go get qb matt Flynn in free agency making him the big offseason splash of 2012…give him a contract along the lines of kevin kolbs 7 year $63 mil deal $21 mil guaranteed…make the signing bonus and early cap hit hefty so in a few years you give yourself an easy out cap wise should he fail…

This should be obvious given the contract but do give matt Flynn the starting job heading into week 1… there should be no competition when you’re investing this kind of money

Do realize that you have no shot at getting to Andrew luck with the #1 pick in trade and are up against getting in position for rg3…

Don’t trade multiple #1’s and another high pick or player to get in position for rg3…just don’t

Do release/let walk the following asap marc Colombo, Jason taylor, chad henne, Philip merling

Do decide to release if not both one of paul solia or kendall Langford…bottom line we could use the money towards one or the other in the matt Flynn contract…if it’s a 43 defense imo you let Langford walk who is a 34 de all the way and will command a contract in the range of 5 years $35 mil around $20 mil guaranteed…paul solia I’d say is in the 5 year $40 mil range $20 mil guaranteed…just doesn’t make fiscal sense to keep both and pay Flynn…so at minimum one good football player must go

Do after acquiring matt Flynn use the top draft pick on one of the following players…quentin coples Courtney Upshaw david decastro…with qb fixed for the short term at least go with the bpa that fills a need…decastro is widely considered a once a decade type interior oline prospect upshaw has the hips change of direction power in his hands and short area acceleration you want in a 34 solb…coples imo is more a 43 fit at de but he has some shift inside rush capabilities and is gap responsible and poa strong with pass rush upside…and he’s got ideal measurable…and if we do go to a 43 the glaring need on d is absolutely a de…

Do use a top 3 round pick on a seam busting te threat…someone with height who can beat man to man coverage and has a high catch radius with top end speed…coby fleener anybody should he get to our 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] rounder would look awfully good in aqua and orange to me…

Do find another rb who can compete with Daniel Thomas and in the event reggie bush gets injured come in and contribute right away…vick ballard of miss st and isiah pead of cinci fit the bill for me and I think both are pick 120 range prospects

Do realize that with matt moore signed for one more season at a peanuts like $3 mil number this is the year to commit real money to the qb position with the best available free agent addition possible matt Flynn…do like I said prior put a lions share of the guaranteed money in the 2012 cap number so in the event Flynn does fail you still can have cap room to worst case sign moore again as a free agent provided the moneys right…and also leave yourself the room in 2013 cap wise to use that top pick in what looks like right now at least will be a loaded qb crop

Do realize that with this new cba matt Flynn guaranteed money wise is not likely to command any more guaranteed money than any qb that you would use a top 5 pick on in the draft…and unlike the draft pick Flynn has nfl production already…high end at that

Do grow a pair...

Do not stray from my plan...


Do contact me if you need help…ha ha
 
I believe Matt Moore's cap number is only 1.5 million dollars (2 year, 3 million dollar contract is what I read), so yeah I'm definitely with you that we are in great position to make a run at Flynn if Philbin thinks he's the real deal.

It would be great if we can get Clements, but I believe that Mike McCarthy has already refused to let him interview for an OC position in the past. And he's still under contract. :(

do not ruin my mood...
 
pretty good plan bro, I agree with you on almost everything but I think the secondary needs to be addressed, not sold on sean smith, and FS is a serious question mark, and will allen is getting older, we need a nickel corner, jimmy wilson?

Sorry. :)

Clements is very highly regarded so I really hope that McCarthy would be willing to part with him. He's said in the past that he's all for allowing guys on his staff to move on when they have opportunities to advance their careers...
 
If you are willing to let all those you mention walk or be released then we should make a move for Nicks in FA. Then if Richardson is available at 9 take him if not go Upshaw. TE with our second rounder.

depends on what happens in the draft and flynn sweepstakes...you get flynn i think olb/de pass rusher becomes the #1 need which would help this secondary out a lot...i think we can get another year out of will allen on the cheap and i think jimmy wilson will help us more next year and maybe be ready to take over a starting boundary job in 2013...i don't like sean smith on the boundary never have but i think for one more year provided we get the pass rush help we need we can get by with him... but after this season when its time to sign him or vontae long term no question i'd be investing in vontae if i had to pick...he's the only cb we have who can handle/limit legit #1 wrs in this league at this time...he stays unless the moneys rediculous

Completely agree. However, were he to bring in Kevin Greene as DC instead of Bowles, I would be pretty happy.
 
Hard to believe Clements will come here if the Packers offer him the OC position.

But otherwise I like this list. I'd also include moving John Jerry to RT after his surprisingly good turn at LT. DeCastro makes a ton of sense at RG or LG with Vernon Carey and his big contract being politely shown the door. We need to have someone other than Pouncey who can pull in the run game.

I would let Langford walk and keep our personnel in the 3-4. Soliai has got to be signing to a long term deal, though, whichever kind of defense you want to play. The guy's got excellent athleticism for a guy that size, better than Wilfork who hasn't been bad in four man fronts this year. Pay the man. He's a beast. Upshaw makes a lot of sense if Coples (as expected) goes before 8 or 9.

Fleener in the 2nd is probably a pipe dream especially after this year of incredible tight end performances.

nicks is goin to be in that 7 year $49 mil range...so get ready for it...big money coming his way if he hits free agency
 
as for free safety sure i'd like an ed reed back there but does anyone see one in the draft??? i don't...imo also once we went to the packages later in the season where we had culver in as a center fielder type and used reshad jones more in the box and as an extra lb type the safety play got much better...and culver won't break the bank by any means jones is under his rookie contract...that said should dashon goldson get away from san fran coming off the year he had on a 1 year $3 mil contract he got i'd want to be on that...

but the priority should absolutely be flynn first and foremost and then piece it after that
