Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

If I'm Rick Smith

These are my moves this offseason, if I'm running the team. Now I'm not sure money wise if this is even possible, but maybe with some restructuring here and there, and some cuts, these can be made.

1. Sign Mike Wallace as RFA with that 1st round tender. We are most likely using our 1st rounder on a WR, so why not get someone we know for sure is great. He is 25, and with him on 1 side, and AJ on the other, defenses have no shot. That would leave Kevin Walter as slot 3rd WR (i like him there a lot), and then cut Jacoby Jones.

2. Sign Paul Soliai. He is a great NT, and with him in middle of Watt, and Smith, it would be sick.

3. Somehow resign Mario. I know Reed, and Barwin are good enough, but Mario is a different beast (in the same animal (kobe nikesystem reference). Reed would move to bench but play a lot in different formations.

4. Sign Foster to 4-5 yr. deal, and resign Myers/Briesel.

What do you guys think? Possible?

Not sure Wallace is possible, but another possibility I think we have to consider is trading up for Justin Blackmon. The guy could be the next AJ, and giving up picks for a beast like that at this time, is something that needs to be considered.

very dreamy, but

1. i don’t have a prob with this, but it seems unlikely
2. nope. draft a NT – maybe Ta’amu or Chapman
3. gonna be dicey, but i think he’s gone. someone will throw ft knox at him
4. foster, yes, but probably not both the other two

i personally would trade up for blackmon, but the texans will not.

Are you using monopoly money?

Do you realize how big the contract would be to make Pittsburgh give up their best offensive player regardless of the tender? Not to mention the cost Soliai is going to come with.

A nose in this scheme is not worth FA money, draft someone on the cheap and let Wade develop him.

Like DaGoat said ^^^.

Your using Monopoly money. That haul of contracts is absolutely unpayable, unless we decide to cut every one else on the team and sign UDFAs around Foster, Wallace, Soliai, Williams, and Myers. But then the team would suck so theirs no point.

Tajh Boyd and Dre' Ellington are the future.
