Is the mighty wallet opening up?

So with the signings of two enormous coordinators in Weis and Crennel, is Clark Hunt finally opening up his wallet this off season?

I know that these two did not come cheap, as they have a resume practically better than any and all other coordinators in the business. Maybe this will spill over to free agency, and we will be able to attract top talent, and actually offer them enough $$$ to make it worth their while.

Interesting. Both our coordinators making more than the head coach.

Everyone say it with me... "Wilfork"

I'd be pleased as punch with that signing.

I don't think they'll let Wilfork go. I'm sure that was the intention when letting go of Seymour, they have a few nice offensive pieces hitting the F/A market this year though. Some decent OL guys and Ben Watson would help!

San Diago has alot of free agents this year also. Dont think they will be able to keep them all if they get the CBA done. If they dont get a new CBA done, there will not be much out there worth getting.

I would rather have 22 average to good players, than I would 2 superstars that break the bank.
