    Floyd had a terrible start to the year but improved to ok. Being 6-2 (or whatever) with T-Rex arms won't help against a lot of big interior OLs. He is quick and Zimmer will find a way to use him.
    Jared Allen and Kevin Williams are FA's...my guess is they don't bring back one (or both) of them, and use that money to bring in some blue collar guys that both know and fit the scheme Zimmer wants to run. I expect a few people from Cincy to follow him.
    Allen's cap number was like Top 15-QB money IIRC.

    They do have a QB problem. If Turner is the OC Peterson will either blow out everything (sports hernia, knee, etc.) from overuse or break 3000 yards.
    Big offseason for GM Spielman. They have lots of needs. They also have cap money and draft picks in the top 10 of each round.

    Scary thought: had Minny not blown all those late 4Q leads they'd have won the division.
    In a perfect world they'd hire some retread like Bill Callahan.

      They do have a WR who can be Irving-like. And Turner showed in Cleveland that he still likes to go vertical. Patterson can be every bit as good as Josh Gordon. Q is will they have someone who can get him the ball?

        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          why would they wait until after the Divisional round?

              Roger Goodell and the owners add 2 teams to the playoffs and 2 extra games to the regular season.

              They also remove kickoffs, remove punts, and pass rushers must count until 3 Mississippi until they can rush the QB.

                The Bengals' Michael Johnson could hit the FA market. It's possible he follows Zimmer.

                      It would have been more fun if they had hired Don Zimmer.

                        The early rumor is Jared Allen and what appears on the surface as a marriage made in Heaven:

                        Jared meet Jimmy.

                          Zim's tough and great but he has no base, too top heavy. 165 pound Pedro Martinez took him down with a shoulder grab. Terrible pad level Zim!
                          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
