With the money we save losing Q and Edge, why dont we go and get Suggs and Ray Lewis? Then we can move Dansby outside and have the best LB corps in the game.
The only OLB's under contract next year is Laboy and Okeafer(2009 is his last year).
So in that regard there will be room for Suggs. Not sure if the Cards want to go the big top tier free agent money route or the quantity mid teir free agent route.
There will have to be some tough decisions to make during the 2009 offseason that is for sure. See the 2009 UFA list below (didnt included the RFA's or the EFA's)
Replaceable or Cheap re-signs:
St. Pierre
T. Smith
E. Brown
Beisel
R. Brown
Celestin
Dirk Johnson
Must Re-Signs:
Warner
Dansby
Would like to Re-sign if the price is right:
Arrington
Berry
Haggans
Would like to Re-sign if the price is right but have already been replaced by current 2008 draft class rookies:
A. Smith
Green
Guys who want new deals. In order of whom I think is more important to get done based on years left on their deal and other factors
1. Wilson - the only person with any real grip when talking about getting an extension because he is the only one who has only 1 year left on his deal.
2. Boldin
3. Dockett
If Al Johnson is healthy do you think he will be cut? What kind of cap relief will that net us?
I'd be cool with trading Boldin and signing Dansby, Wilson, Dockett and Suggs.
Why?No way all that would happen.
I'm not saying we'd definitely go after Suggs hard--it could well be that his price tag doesn't fit with the FO strategy--but you can never have too many LBs in the defense we're running today. I'd bet dollars to donuts that Penderghast would find a way to use all those backers (plus, Berry and Okeafor aren't getting any younger).we're pretty deep in Predator LB/DE's and not desperate for someone like Suggs.
