I'd rather have the low second.

Everything works for me besides signing DA. Too much money considering I expect he'll be gone after this year anyway.

Well we picked up an extra second rounder for a player many expected to walk for nothing, so yeah. Can't say I expected/expect too much from the Packers in the off season anyways.

I'm mildly happy with the Saints offseason. I love the trade for Vilma and am happy about the signing of McCray. The signing of Randall_*** and the re-signing of Devery Henderson don't leave me impressed at all.
Our failure to bring in any DT, even if it was to offer him a free piece of cake, really disappoints me.

Yeah I like that signing, probably just a camp body but I like his potential. Darkhorse candidate to be a starting G for us by the end of 08.

I'm satisfied, but not overjoyed with the signings made by Tampa so far.
The addition of Jeff Faine is a good one and he is definitely a big upgrade over John Wade and will help continue the youth movement Tampa has made on the offensive line in the last 2-3 years.
The other two signings are more 'situational' players who provide little more than solid depth. Jimmy Wilkerson from KC might be a nice swing DE/DT but I don't expect too much from him and his roster spot is definitely not assured. The other signing is TE John Gilmore from Chicago who should be a nice #2/#3 tight end with above average blocking ability.

Hell to the yes if this D-Rob thing goes down, regardless of all the other moves we've made.

I'd give the Saints a B- so far in free agency. Trading for Jonathan Vilma was huge, Bobby McCray and Randall *** provide quality depth and we upgraded the Center position with Goodwin. Re-signing Brian Young, Aaron Stecker and Terrence Copper were also great moves. I'm not sure about Mark Simoneuax and Devery Henderson, but they know the system and will provide good depth.
I would still like for us to sign a TE, DT, WR, QB

Fast wide receivers? Good cornerback? A decent, cheap backup?
HECK YES.

It was a given that the Pats were going to lose a lot of guys, but I am still unhappy with the way free agency has gone so far. We lost 3 key contributors in an already shallow secondary, including Asante who was possibly the most valuable player on our defense. Colvin is great when healthy, but he has been hurt a lot. Stallworth didn't put up huge numbers but he was a valuable guy, he will do big things in Cleveland.
If we lose Moss then I will not know what to say, hopefully we can hang on to him and pick up some LB and DB help in the draft along with a few OL and wideouts.

This team is going to end up with about the lowest talent level in the NFL at this rate.

all my thoughts right there...thank you
I wanted jenkins or robertson, but shanny wont make a trade. Boss is just like a younger ian gold. Fast but no tackle. Can only hope that champ inspires him.

Drayton Florence would start on 80% of the teams in the NFL...so I don't know what you're basing that on...
and you talk now, but I guarantee you that Chicago would have given Porter a look had the Jaguars not signed him so quickly, so don't act like he doesn't have talent...

I'm not unhappy with it...mainly because i know the Steelers are never players in free agency. But i am abit dissapointed that we havn't even brought any1 in for a visit. And there has been some real steals via trade this year.

Yes, this FA went almost as good as it could have gone for the Eagles, IMO.
