Ratliff Near Extension

Maybe we make a run at free agent Paul Soliai (6-4, 355 age 28 next year) or target Washington's Alameda Ta'amu (6-3, 337) in the draft.

Yep, I think NT will be a high priority for them next yr, and CB/S probably too.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Spencer and Butler this yr. If niether really come through, OLB becomes a major priority for next yr too. I think this is Spencer's final year of his current contract.

I can see us with a starting LB unit of B Victor Butler, LILB Sean Lee, RILB Bruce Carter, and ROLB Demarcus Ware. I think we let Spencer walk unless we can get him at a discounted rate. By the way, with a healthy Carter and DWare on the right side, no one will ever, ever beat us to the edge on a run play to that side.

In this scenario we would need to draft/sign at least 1 OLB and 1 ILB for depth.

I don't see Butler starting for us. Don't get me wrong, I love the dude, but apparently his growth is stunted and he can't get any stronger to handle run downs. I may be wrong though, we'll just have to see.
