Doesn't look like we're going to make a big splash, and I'm fine with that. I think we need another year of high draft picks before we should spend big money and try to contend. There's just too many holes on this team.

Paid Carlson way too much money in my opinion. Too much of an injury risk, could have just paid Shiancoe whatever he wanted. At least Shiancoe isnt a big injury risk.

I agree with you Worm about not making a big splash, especially with the prices people are getting. Although I wish we would be a little more active, and get SOMEONE! :D

yeah i like the idea of filling holes instead of throwing all the money at one guy- i like that we're staying with the two te's

i'll miss shiancoe but i really like rudolph

Like I've always said, you can never have enough fullbacks.

released remi ayodele (former saint probably wanted to get out of the bounty gate mess- or he's no good)

also signed geoff schwartz, some offensive lineman- here's hoping he's good
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/re ... story.html

and it looks like lex hilliard, released from miami, because the backfield isn't near full enough yet

Love bringing back Aromashodu.
Jasper is a big hitter and is due for a shot.
Still would love to have gone after a big name in FA.
