Im sick of people posting "WE NEED HUGE FA's"

[DOL-FAN92]

We don't need good FA,all we need is depth.Thats what killed us last season.We could have easliy won 4-5 more games,if we had the common depth.They dont even have to be high-profile,we just need insurence behind our starters,and were good,we can sign BI free agents until we are a desired team,the location doesn't matter,and money isn't going to make the player happy when you have continuous losing seasons.No,all we really need to do is sign one-two starters,a couple more potentials,develop what we have and build through the draft.Next year,maybe sign a big name or two,as long as we don't blow all our Cap Money this year,which I think Parcells and Sparano know better than.

I agree on some level. Im sick of everyone wanting to go out and get every big name free agent. Parcells knows this is going to be a 2 to 3 year turnaround. Hes going to build through the draft and pick up depth through free agency, and possibly a big name FA once in a while as well.

Amen to that. I mean, where are the "I want more draft picks" posts?

 

[Madman29]

Yeah we don't really need big names but more players that fit what we are trying to do right now. We are rebuilding and that takes a lot of patience. I am not saying I dont want some of these big names Im just saying that we need to do what is in the best interest in the team.

 

[Coral Reefer]

Building a team takes a unique balance.

Yes, successful teams will build the majority of that team through good drafting BUT Free Agent Acquisitions can make a huge contribution to a team as well.

I don't see the need for this "melt down" thread.

If people want to discuss who we might go after and why then so be it.
Why?
Because if you think the Phins will go into next year without bringing in FA's to fill holes on this roster you're flat out crazy.

Or how about another lets trade the farm for Derek Anderson??

I totally disagree with you because we need impact starters as well as depth. Your basically saying that all the starters were good. That can't be further from the truth. Out of the 22 starters on this team, there might only be 6 or 7 starters worth keeping as starters. So they need help everywhere and could use a few big time free agents to improve the talent level along with a great draft. I believe you have some kind of combination of both to be really effective.

 

[Dfan06]

Actually we don't need free agent, what we need is some young player with huge upside but Also get some big name player at Impact position. T and CB.

 

[Raoul Duke]

only big free agent I saw to bring in is a top notch DB. That's the thing that this team needs. I dont think we can go this offseason without signing a great young db. Everything else is offseason jabber. Relax and take it easy homie.

 

[Dolfan1000]

I dont think such demands are unreasonable.

1. We have cap room.

2. We were 1-15.

3. We have a new regime in place.

The best teams have a balance of home-grown, drafted talent, and key FA signings that fit the team concept and the scheme.

WHY SIGN A IMPACT PLAYER THIS YEAR WHEN WERE GOING TO LOSE,WHEN WE CAN SIGN THEM NEXT YEAR AND WIN...CAUSE CHANCES ARE WERE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS THE YEAR AFTER THIS ONE.....

SIGNING A BIG FREE AGENT NOW ISN'T GOING TO HELP US WIN,WHEN WE DONT HAVE THE FIREPOWER TO WIN NOW....

YOU ONLY SIGN A BIG FREE AGENT WHEN YOURE "one player away or two",NOT WHEN YOU ARE SEVERAL PLAYERS AWAY.....

You also sign a big free agent if he is young and expect him to perform at a high level for the next few years. Be real, if the opportunity is there to get a play-maker that fits into your vision for the future 3 years and you don't have to kill your salary cap why wouldn't you get him. Rebuilding now is a 3 year propostion.

It doesn't matter because your going to sign that free agent to a long term deal anyways, so he will be around for the following year and years after that. As long as they sign the right type of free agents in their prime or going into their prime, I have no problem with it. The problem the last couple of years is they signed the wrong kind of free agents, players that were older and on the decline. Thats what they need to change, their approach. Plus, you just contridicted yourself by saying they are several players away, when in your first post you mentioned that they just needed to add depth and that the starters were okay. I know they need several starters and thats why you have to add some through free agency. You can't get them all from the draft because you only have so many picks and probably won't hit on every one of them.
