well, the tricky thing about our team last year was that we were pretty stacked and because of the 1 year contracts and low risk/high reward deals...it was going to be a huge challenge to keep everybody. If we marginally improved or at least moved laterally, it was going to be a successful offseason.
fortunately, we pretty much locked up our core long term. D'brick, mangold, revis, sanchez, holmes, and probably david harris soon too. i love braylon and it would have been nice to keep him but i heard he wanted close to #1 WR money and that would have left us with major holes / no CB money.
plax is a big target, and a much cheaper alternative at least for the short term. i think next year we'll look for a #2 receiver in the draft.
If we resign cromartie(Schefter says we're closing in on the the deal) , we're a better team than last year because of our rookies we drafted to shore up the d line. not to mention the next step in sanchez's development
