A couple things I would do if I were GM

**figcrostic** · 01-13-2012, 07:13 PM

Cut Barry Sackardson, Thomas "2 ypc" Jones and Tyler "Noodle arm" Falko

I would make Hudson our center and Maneri our blocking TE (ala Dunnn).

Sign Bowe and put a tag on Carr

I would pick up Mike Tolbert or Michael Bush in the FA along with Kyle Orton.

I would trade Matt Cassel and a 7th round pick for a 2nd rounder which is possible because of the weak qb draft (barkley and jones both staying in college).

I would trade our first down to around the 20 pick up a 3rd and then draft:
1st round Decastro OG
2nd round Mike Adams RT
2nd round Dontario Poe NT
3rd round Micah Hyde CB,
3rd round Audie Cole ILB
4th round 1)Brandon Weeden QB or 2)Case Keenum QB,
5th round Philip Lutzenkirchen TE,
6th round Marquis Maze WR,
7th pick traded with Cassel.

First off if you were the GM you would be creating more work for yourself because the 3 players you said you would cut (TJ, Palko, and Richardson).... are free agents

2nd... You would actually save money by Tagging Bowe and trying to re-sign Carr. The average salaries of the top 10 DBs in the league is about 10 mil, and the top 10 salaries for WR's is about 9.7 mil.

Althought Carr is a good corner...He is considered a #2 corner on our team and would not warrant top 10 money even if he went elsewhere to be the #1. Bowe is viewed as a top 10-15 talent at WR, so if we tag him we would pay him around 9.7 mil this year, which we would have to expect to give him top 10-15 money to stay anyways.... if we tag Carr, his salary will jump above Flower's who is our #1, and we will have to pay him an inflated contract which we would not have to otherwise. We should expect to pay him within the top 20 corners in the league, but not the top 10.

And last I like your 1st round pick of DeCastro, I can really see him on our team... but I don't think he will be there at pick#20...He is the top interior lineman in this class and should be off the board by 15. Mike adams has some character issues, so I'm not sure we see him on our team, maybe one of the tackles from Florida State?? Sanders or Datko.. And I agree with another post on here that Poe will be off the board by that pick as well. Maybe someone like the NT from Washington or Josh Chapman from Alabama in the 3rd....

Just some thoughts to ponder on..

Oh no... I got it.

I thought it was a "Shane Falco" reference from "The Replacements".

I can say that I don't think he will be back but I myself won't be to upset if we do bring him back. He does do some things for this team. I don't think that he's been as bad as others. He can't do it every week anymore as father time has caught up with him but he can have sparks where he can do some good things.

I hate to be like this but with tj (jets) they went from top of the afc in rushing to not. We sir were first in the league with tj and charles.just like tj and shonn greene were until tj got cut and in chicago they cut tj to keep cedric and cedric benson isnt even in chicago anymore. U just pull stats to support ur own opinion and are completely biased u need to learn how to be objective. But ur probably like dbolan and know everything and are perfect.

Dude, Thomas Jones can easily be replaced with a much more productive RB. It's that simple.

Maybe or maybe not he hasnt been as bad as most think he still has shown flashes of the old thomas jones and we may get someone more productive but losing a locker room presence is a bigger deal than most are willing to admit. u live with some beae fans ask one about thomas jones.
