    Though all this stuff needed to be consolidated, and the mindset moved forward. We need a CB, we need a WR, we need like 2 safties, a pass rush wouldnt hurt. And I dont think anyone at this point has any clue where we stand cap wise.

    I don't see how if we are roughly 10 million under - prior to inking Harris long term and possibly restructuring Sanchez, how money would be a huge issue.

    WR - Edwards looks like a non option, unless something changes drastically. We seem to be in it for real for Plax. I'm not sure moss is in option, unless somehow it helps us in the Cromartie dealings. James Jones and Floyd would both make sense at the right price.

    I prefer Jones, although i'm still recovering from the Edwards stomach punch. I could live with Plax given the right signings elsewhere.

    CB - We signed Strickland. Who I was a huge fan of a couple years back. Cromartie clearly is our main target now. Buchanon makes me want to vomit, I'd much rather have Carr, who we havent seemed to show interest in. Is Asante an option?

    I just don't see us losing Cro, the way the FO seems to havhe made corner a priority. Plus I don't think the league values him anywhere near what we do or what his asking price is. If Samuels is an option in a trade for draft picks, I'd make that move in a second.

    S - Eric Smith signed. Appearantly we cant meet Brodney Pools demands, because he is too high priced(yet we could afford Nnamdi?). I can't image leonard wont be back.

    DL - I really hope ellis comes back. Ty Warren I'd take only at veterans minimum, and while I'd love to have Jenkins, im not sure he is worth the gamble/money with his injury history.

    thoughts?

    sign cro
    lock up a wide out (burress, moss, or floyd for me)
    re-up ellis (sign warren for depth @ league min if possible too)
    take care of remaining draft picks

    Pool of available talent is diminishing quickly.

    WR would love Edwards back out of available talent but due to concerns of having 2 WR with big money and 1 strike away from year long suspensions. Jones or ugh Plax is really only options.

    DL Ellis would be great to have back. Id also like to take a look at Aubroyo Franklin the NT from 49ers. Ty Warren I guess if Vet minimum.

    LB not much left Manny Lawson? I like the thread with trying to get Osi but Giants probably wont trade to intown rival of the back page.

    CB Richard Marshall was the guy I wanted but Arizona just locked him up so Cro maybe Carr he did good things last year and probably will be cheaper.

    S Id like to take a look at bringing back Abram Elam. Maybe take a flyer on Atari Bigby or Bob Sanders two injury prone but good safeties

    Bob Sanders is a Charger.

    Elam, Huff, and Goldton are the best names I can think of at safety.

    Missed that one in the news damn. Goldson the safety from 49ers forgot about him that would be a nice pickup as well

    'Plan B free agency'.

    Ugh - remember that? Huge contracts being thrown at second-tier players in the early 90s.
