the same can be said about you. you know jack about what this team will look like. right now our defensive line is Selvie, Hayden, McClain and Mincey all 4 are nothing more than backups on 25-27 of the other teams in the league. but you still believe that JJ is going to somehow or other bring in a couple of stud FA's and is going to nail down things with a killer draft. how is he going to do that? by restructuring every player he hasn't already restructured or by convincing those stud FA's to take bread crumbs compared to what other teams can offer.
stop living in a dreamworld. maybe JJ finally sees things as they are and has a plan to, dare i say it, rebuild this team . now this might take a couple of years and fans might have to face a 4-12 or 5-11 season over those couple of years but that would be better than playing this endless game of restructuring contracts every year that buries us at the bottom of the league in cap space every year. even with the projected jumps we will still be at the bottom in reference to cap space next year.
If the DL you listed is starting in early Sept you might be right about Jerry's intentions, but I think 2-3 of those guys will be depth. First off, Crawford is going to start. Second, even if Jerry doesn't sign another DL(he might), I think they can pull at least one starter and one contributor out of the draft. The biggest problem I see is a lack of pass rushers. However, if we start the season with Selvie, Hayden, McClain, Mincey, Crawford, Aaron Donald, and Trent Murphy(and maybe Robert Ayers...Or Jared Allen), I'd be pretty excited
