Safeties

I say we retain Lynch as a backup and see if Taylor can actually win the job. If a new staff likes the idea of moving Jammer to safety, then do it and cut Bigby. If not, keep Bigby and let him compete with Taylor or cut him in favor of another FA.

QFT. If we just had a better O line, we'd still be in the mix for the division and would likely be no worse than a game behind the Steelers in the wildcard standings. We simply must hit on whatever O linemen we pick up in the draft and free agency.

The D this year has been good enough to win games and would have racked up sacks and turnovers had the offense managed to put up points in the 2nd half like they've done in previous years. The D can certainly be improved.

I think we can get by next season with veteran stopgaps at NT, WR and TE. Lynch and Bigby were great offseason additions and will hopefully be part of the teams' plans next year.

Best case scenario, Taylor steps up and starts because Bigby and Lynch are backup quality players.

Absolutely. We sure would if some of the younger players like Taylor, Mouton, Brown, Troutma, Ladarius Green and Molk could stay healthy and make an impact. This will be a huge offseason to develop players and remove ones that no longer fit.
