If you could only have 1 FA on off and 1 on Def?

Who would you select?

On offense I'd probably go for a big WR over a LT because I still think Tice is gonna have that group together with another offseason and some fresh kids from the draft. But I still think Cutler needs that big WR target and i don't really trust the draft for that. With both Sidney Rice and Vincent Jackson are available to fit that bill and I'd jump. I'd like to get Rice just to rub it in the Vikings faces.

On defense, I'm most concerned about our corners. Tillman has taken a big step back IMO this year and Bowman disappeared to special teams. We need a shut down corner and there are a few out there. With Denver going in the crapper, Champ Bailey will likely leave. There's also Antonio Cromartie, from the Jets. I'd go with the younger Cromartie.

If I could only have 1? Give me the CB. But I'd probably kick myself later for not going OT.

Who would you guys like (not just positions but throw some names out there)

On the big WR front. As crazy as it sounds, how about TO? He's on pace for 89 catches and 1200+ yards for one of the worst teams in the league. He's basically put all that craziness in the past after he & his agent realized he needed to keep getting a paycheck. He's in top condition too. If we put that kind of production next to Knox & moved Hester full time to the slot and had Bennett as our 4th WR I'd be really happy with the production possibilities.

That said, obviously, its TO.

Depends on who's available, but having a game breaking WR would really open things up for Knox, Olsen and Hester as well, so that would be tough to pass up.

Definitely a corner on defense, though having a dominant DT would be nice as well to complement Peppers.
