Jones, Hawk, etc.  These contracts add up, when it would be better to take a chance filling these spot with young cheap draft picks than proven overpaid mediocre players.  If we were willing to fork over (reportedly) $8M a year for a mostly useless player like Raji, I should sure hope we'd be willing to add a measly $3M to that for Jimmy Graham.  Jairus Byrd is going to walk and isn't going to be tagged.  Now there's another playmaker which would cost about $9M, so you''re talking $20M to add two playmakers for the team, and then you have to let Finley, Jones, Shields, Raji, Neal, and just about everybody with an expiring contract walk.  Blow everything on 2 playmakers.  You could probably bring back Pickett and Jolly on minimum contracts.  But would we be a better team?  Yeah, I think we would.  Would it come back and bite us in the future?  Maybe.</blockquote>
