OFFSEASON TRADES will be necessary

I think our running game would be fine without Williams, since it IS currently, but I wouldn't have a problem holding onto him for the right price. But please god, don't overpay him like he's our only option in that area.

And we don't need to trade any of our players to sign Vincent Jackson or upgrade the te position with Marcedes Lewis. We have like a Brinks truck full of cap space.

It'll take a magician to be able to afford Luck (hypothetically), Williams, Stewart, Smith, Beason, Davis, Kalil, Johnson, Gross, Gamble, and Marshall until their runs are done. Something has to give.

And yes, I know not all those contracts are up this year. I just meant as a whole. Sounds like a major headache.

Gamble and Gross are under contract. Marshall is likely gone and can be replaced. We should get a favorable contract for Davis. Williams is likely gone.

that's where a creative capologist and some creative contract structuring would come in. lots of ways that you can afford all of those guys. only one i really don't want to bother keeping is marshall.

It's good it is not up to most of yall. Even better that it is not up to these coaches.

I think if you trade RBs, you trade the one who will bring in the most value. That RB is Mike Goodson. Now, I think it could really be a toss up between Goodson and Stewart, but Goodson is younger and that appeals to alot of teams at that position. Trade Clausen for a draft pick, I would be cool with that. (Or if you could bring in a quality player for him, like the browns did with Brady Quinn. Still trying to figure out how that happened, and if I'm not correct, they also got a draft pick along with Peyton Hillis.)

He has to be up there on a lot of team's wish lists. However, DW has not lasted the entire season for the past 2 years. He is starting to show wear. If he hits the wall, you have Stewart, who is injured a lot, and Sutton. I think DW has less trade value than Goodson--you are right-but it is because DW's tires are getting worn. Then there is the fact that DW will want $9 million per and Goodson is playing for 5% of that.
