How to play the free agent market?

[sleek]

Most of our veterans or experienced players are banged up with pretty serious injuries and on the decline. Trent Green (concussions),Zach Thomas (concussions),Jason Taylor(back problems),Porter(knee),Y.bell (knee),Andre Goodman(shoulder problems),R. Hill(knee),R. Brown(knee),Ricky Williams(weed,injuries). After reviewing the free agent market most of the talented players look like they will be re- signed and the few left after that will command a boatload of money and/or draft picks.IMO this dilemma is what is making our mess so hard to correct. Quality veterans allow you to be competitve and allow the rookies to be trained correctly and inserted at the right time.I'm guessing we could see more Keyshawn(old vets that know the parcells system) type guys and probably mediocre Dallas castoffs because at least they know the system and both are realistically affordable.My question is what approach do we take to get solid healthy veteran leadership to teach our draft picks and allow us to be competitive? The more I look at our roster I can't even really name one spot where we have a guaranteed reliable experienced healthy starter.

I think we need solid football players they don't need to teach we got coaches for that. I agree with the over priced free agents not likely being attainable but there are a few I think we could have a chance at mostly T.Suggs or Trufant but the other big names will be hard to sign. Look for guys like D.Florence, G.Wilson, T.Wharton.

I like Suggs and Trufant but I think they will be resigned by their current teams.Also I think Wharton and G. Wilson will be resigned too don't really know G.Florence.

I don't think that we should go out and spend big money on big name free agents. I think that we should go out and get team players that are smart and won't demand a lot of money.

Get second tier, hard blue collar players, draft let's say 10 players,a nd bring in a good sized group of undrafted free agents, and let them compete. We are not going to fill this roster in one year. It is going to take two years.

Hope fully we can snag some sleepers in the second tier category. I agree wit h ya on the time frame to fill the roster even with parcells it won't be a quick fix.

We will put the players that are on the edge on notice that is for sure. Once we get 53 players that want to play together and win, we will be on the right tract. You can only fill so many spots in one year. I am not saying we can't be competitive, I am just saying it will take two years to get the players we want for the new coaching staff.

Alan Faneca, Flozelle Adams and Ken Hammer Hamlin would do great for me!! than Shaun Rogers would put the cherry on the Ice cream

I can't wait till we get that solid roster to match the coaches and get that chemistry flowing. Saban didn't stick around long enough to get to that point and Cam was on the right track IMO but his lack of head coaching experience did him in.

We need players that bring the attitude that breeds winning, and awesome team football.:hi5:

Faneca would be a nice one to have but Ithink he might be pricey.I like the Hammer but i was doing some reading about him and they said Dallas will prolly lock him up because he was the one bright spot in their troubled secondary.I will admit I like that compilation of players you have assembled.

Faneca and Adams would be great but we re a rebuilding team. Both of those guys are older and very expensive. We need to get younger and think for the future. Paying a ton of money for older guys isnt going to help us for very long.

That being said I'm all for paying to get Marcus Trufant here.
