Now that the season is over, anyone have any thoughts?

I read a rumor that Rob Ryan is going to Dallas... why aren't we going after him to replace Mattison or at least coach the D Line or something?!

I would take care of Cam before I'd even think about our DC.

I would love Kirk Morrison.

Can't see Mason retiring, but I hope he does. I think we need less players like him and more players like Mike Wallace of Pittsburgh. younger, faster guys that force defenses to play the whole field.

Also, no idea why we'd trade McGahee for a 5th rounder, makes no sense to me. He's more valuable than anything you can get in the 5th.

I think we need to keep Carr and let Fabian go, I also wouldn't mind seeing Landry go either, I think Zbikowski(ss) and Reed(fs) would be a lot better.

We'd be lucky to get a 5th rounder for McGahee at this point. You know how much we pay him. Hes not nearly worth that money.

I would only keep him if he takes a significant pay-cut, which I don't see him doing.
