Any ideas? Do we go after a tier 1 player? 2 or 3 tier 2 players? We have some holes. Do we go edge rusher, LB, cover corner on defense or do we go offense and pick up a RB or try to sign another Veldheer type offensive lineman? I'm really interested on who we're going to be targeting as this can go in so many directions.

I don't know, but I know I think we are going to be more aggressive in adjusting the roster than any of us expected once the offseason started.

I can't wait to see what Keim does. I think we are all going to be real excited about next season in three weeks or so after we make some moves. And, yes, i do think we will make a splash with a big number.

Most likely? Peterson IMO.

They have no concern over Dan Williams and just cut Dockett... for some reason I really think they want Suh!

I'm actually luke warm over that notion. This was the first year he didn't do something overly stupid. At the same time, it doesn't make sense. We're fine at NT with Williams and there's no way Suh would come cheaper than he. We need an edge rusher in the worst way and Suh isn't what we need.

I'm hoping to bring in Orakpo and another 1-2 guys, rather than a huge splash like Houston/Peterson.

It's an interesting question and I have no clue. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's AP frankly. Would love Suh even more.

I think this orginization is going all in, all chips on the table. Then they're taking off watches and rings and iPhones and everything they own and putting it on the pile.

I get the sense Bidwill believes in Keim, and especially BA, so much that they're going to make a huge splash for a difference maker.

Bidwill believes BA can coach us to a championship, that's clear.

OLB Orakpo
OLB Worilds
ILB Ayers
OG Iupati
OC Wisniewski

I'm already anticipating texting Ouchie, starting to talk Super Bowl plans in San Francisco.

I've never had this much confidence in a Phoenix organization since the Barkley heydays of the Suns. That was 20 years ago. It feels good.

wonder if there's any way to get BOTH AP and Suh. If Washington only gets two games and we basically add the best RB, DT in the game and one of the best ILBs... that would be insane.

I was on the "trade for Orakpo"bandwagon during the season: But he has had two season ending muscle tears in the last three years.

I don't have an issue bringing him in-- but not on a big dollar deal.

Agreed. One thing is clear: they have their eye on someone. Or multiple someone's. Orgs don't just clear up this cap space and cut DD and let a young player like Williams test FA unless they plan on making big moves.

I wasn't a fan of paying Williams big money, but I don't think he's asking alot frankly. And he's young.

Unless they lost their mind...

good organizations sure don't. if this was the old Cardinals, the Dockett cut/Williams negotiations would have this place in COMPLETE MELTDOWN mode. Now, people are salivating at the idea of getting super stars to put us in the Super Bowl... BECAUSE we believe that's actually part of the plan.

It's awesome to be in this place with this team after all these years.

we really haven't created that much space when you look at what every other team has in the nfl...

Lol that's so true, good post. In years past I'd be wondering what the hell they're doing. Now I'm just wondering who they're targeting.

Since we're in dream mode, just imagine Suh and Cambell on the line next to each other. Imagine! The thought is just sick!!

It'll never happen, but damn.

That's because in the past we didn't have players already in place who are competent.

They are nonchalant about Dan Williams and calmly cut Dockett... which makes my impression of targeting Suh seem actually possible, it is a beautiful dream lol

He wants way too much. Not worth it.

I'd like to see some Linebacker and OL help.

And there's this rumor about a certain RB that should have been here a looonnnggg time ago. :p
