But what if they get injured then? I don’t see how signing big names helps prevent injuries. They’re returning their entire offense and are staring down the barrel at having to keep Hightower/Collins/Chan and even Butler the following season.
However I did start to put together a rough list of offseason needs for this year and here’s an early look.
- Tackle (Vollmer/Cannon entering last years)
- Early Down Running Back (draft, Gaffney, Blount is FA)
- Linebacker (middle guy, coverage speed, cut & re-sign Mayo on cheap)
- Cornerback (badly need depth, look FA deals)
- Wide Receiver (Amendola possible cap casualty)
- Tight End (always a need, find ideal Gronk compliment at Y-TE)
- Guard (Are Mason/Jackson/Kline the answer?)
- Defensive End (Sheard/Ninkovich/Chan entering last years)
- Defensive Tackle (always a need)
