Everyone is constantly bringing up these ridiculous threads about players and what we should do. I'm so sick of having to sift thru the entire site to find a few nuggets. People need to chill out and realize our offseason will not be hard to predict the rest of the way and it will go like this:

-We will NOT trade for E James
-We will NOT trade for S Alexander
-We will NOT trade for D Darius
-We will NOT resign D Boston
-We will NOT sign P Burress
-We will NOT sign D Sharper
-We may or may not trade P Surtain, but if we do it will be for a draft pick - no better than a 2nd. We will NOT receive a player in return.
-We will draft a RB with the #2 pick. We will 99% sure NOT trade down for additional picks.

I'm not arguing that it wouldn't be nice to have these players and I agree they could really help us. But the reality of the situation is is that we DO NOT have the cash to make these moves. The entire reason we are getting rid of Surtain is because we will not be able to afford him, not becasue his level of play has diminished. How do you justify losing a high priced player with exceptional skills for another when the entire reason you're making the move in the 1st place is for financial reasons. Use your head people, we simply don't have the cash!!!!!!

When you give up a draft pick for an established player, not only are you giving up a lot of money to sign that player, you are also giving up part of your future that you would have had if you drafted the younger player. Also, the younger player would come at a much cheaper rate.
 
if you were our GM, we wouldn't need this board at all, as there would never be any news. let's be optimistic at least.
 
i would like to see Sharper here, and maybe for the right price it will but with everything else you said i totally agree, and i cant wait to pick a RB with the number 2 pick! gonna be our back for the next 8-10 years(hopefully Ronnie Brown)
 
The cold truth is that nobody knows what Saban is going to do but Saban.

And maybe his daughter whom he has to bribe to be happy!
 
we could actually get Darren Sharper, he does want to come here
 
Why won't we trade down? Considering the bonus and salary a #2 pick would command that goes somewhat against your reasoning. I'm not saying we won't pick at the second spot but you don't back it up, you merely assert it. I could see us trading down for extra (read more affordable) picks and grabbing a rb not named benson, williams or brown. In fact, since people like making the Bill comparisons, how long did he run a successful team without an elite back?
 
Hell,we've already done more in FA than I thought we would.
I think 1 or 2 more signings ,QB and a OL.Then the draft.
After that remember June cuts.Its going to be a great offseason.
