This is not the same team that went home from their miserable season last year:
D. Bell IR
Wood IR
Parrish Coaches Doghouse
McKelvin IR
T. Edwards Injured
K. Mitchell IR
Having them back, we are a better team. I do not believe in shopping the waiver wire, 1st off to me you are admitting to your team that another team is better by picking up their castoffs. If another team releases someone for salary reasons, and you pick him up as a FA, you do not have to pay him what the other team was paying, you only have to pay the league minimum for a player with the amount of years he has. There is a salary cap this season, there is not one next season.
This years team may not be the playoff team we all crave, but they are far from the 0-16, 2-12, 3-13 team I have seen the talking heads predict. I will take the cards we have and leave everyone else to pick from the discard pile.
