I was sick over letting Nate Clements walk last season. Winfield, Pat Williams, Clements......... I'm tired of letting our better young players walk!!!
As for McGahee, don't get me wrong, I love Marshawn and wouldn't trade him for anyone - he's going to be special. BUT, if we had extended McGahee we still had a Pro Bowl caliber RB and we could have drafted a CB like Revis from the Jets or filled another need. Now, we would be looking a fewer missing pieces to the puzzle.
If the bleeding stopped with McGahee and Clements I would be thrilled.
Every day that goes by without re-signing Lee Evans and Angelo Crowell has me more worried that they will hit free agency and that will set us back even further.
We need to act now to solidify our future. We need to build the foundation and without a long term deal for Evans we are spinning our wheels.
I say forget the UFA's out there and focus on keeping our own!!! Keep drafting well and holding on to our best young players and we will win the Super Bowl sooner than later.
