ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen Dude is almost through his 5-year rookie contract and has been to one playoff game. Looking into his pathetic 0 TD, 47 yard performance against the mighty Giants shutdown defense: 17 yards after the first drive. 4 yards in the second half. 0 yards in the 4th quarter where, you know, stars are supposed to show why they are stars. Another soon to be uber expensive stat boy that some GM will fawn over. 9 times out of ten you could not talk me out of spending whatever on a QB WR DE/Edge CB that is competing for best at his position of the decade. but given our situation ... ??? Straddling the razor's edge between trying to squeeze into more wildcard games or simply dropping out of contention altogether ... is not the time to blow your wad on a big non-QB asset. To start, I'd like to see Kwesi strut into the war room this April in chaps and rhinestone studded killer bee style bandoliers with his version of a winding, opaque 'there's a new sheriff in town' ... We are not going to draft our way into SB contention. Hence, we will need FAs. Extend JJ now and the big $ years of his contract will hit down the road, theoretically when we need to pay to acquire those FAs (and keep our own, however who that will be is debatable). Just say no to self-professed "break the bank" WRs. Roll over the cap. Use it for a shutdown CB later. As for Kwesi's new duds and attitude, one can wish! Can we get into SB contention without the draft? Sure, I don't really see a path to it with either the draft or FA ... right now. I joke about it but I almost don't care. But I'll at least wait until after this draft (including the first two months of FA) ... before deciding to hang in there or not care at all.
