[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1055372, member: 17953"] Just rambling here. Alexander won't be going anywhere. Neither will Walker. That is, unless someone offers value to get them. Both are talented, and both could very well end up not being injured again. Wyatt? He stays only if the price is right. He can make good plays. He also gets blown out one-on-one way too often. I think he grades out negatively in wins/losses. He makes splash plays that keep his RTG up. McManus? One heckuva good kicker. I'd like to see them ink him to multiple years "now." Don't wait until the season is over. We need to have the kicking duties be a "happy place" on our roster. It's been one that's scared the bejeebers out of us for a while now. Nick Folk, the only guy better? He's 40 years old, and McManus is 33. Get a 5-year deal worked out. Watson? The guy is a potato chip. His knees are about as strong as a potato chip is, when you hold it by the tippy-tip end, and dip it into French Onion dip just out of the fridge. You know the darned thing is gonna break. His skills are amazing, when he's healthy. The problem for him is his body. It isn't suited for a torturous game of football. He'd be much better off if he decided to try becoming the king of Canasta. He'd just have to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome. Should Josh Myers stay or go. He made alternate for the Pro Bowl.
