I'm in favor of letting Grimes walk so we can put more money into the lines. If we have to make a decision between DeCoud or Sanders, adios to DeCoud.

I think re-signing Abraham and Lofton are our two biggest FA priorities.

Offensively, I believe Harry Douglas needs to be re-signed. Weems will almost definitely be re-signed as well on account of his work as a gunner more so than his returning abilities.

Absolute MUSTS

HD83 and Curtis Lofton

I would like to see Snelling eventually take over for Turner cause they are such similar backs and Snelling fits more of the direction I would like to see the offense go because he can catch the football so well and he is much better in space than Turner is. Palmer is also a talented kid, so I would love to see him stick around and actually be used. Antoine Smith is great on special teams and has shown flashes in the preseason so I don't want to see him go as well.

On defense, I love Grimes but I think Miko's gonna drive the price to a point that he'll be gone, Hayden would be the smarter resign (if he's healthy he can be a quality starter). Decoud can come back if the price is right, but don't break the bank on him, Sanders plays just as well at a lighter price point. Abraham will be interesting, he's to a point in his career where he is probably never going to be a dominant player again, but if he is willing to be a situational type pass rusher at a reduced price, then by all means I would love to have him back. After what Ray Ray cost us, we may have to let him walk and see if we can get ANYTHING out of Edwards. I also think Sidbury can be good in a starting role.

As far as dreams can go,

Brandon Carr, CB KC or Rashean Mathis, CB JAC (course his price point will be very high)

Laron Landry, S, WAS would be the ultimate addition, even if he just comes in and shows the dudes in our Secondary how to lift weights :)

and obviously lots of help on the Lines...

I would rather spend the money on Landry than Grimes. FS is where most of our TD were given up this year

Agree that DeCoud was our weakest link by a mile. We will improve just by him being gone.

But I don't think Landry is the answer. He's better of course, but gives up too many big plays. Sanders might be our guy. Moore can be the playmaker, but someone has to be in position as the last line of defense.

The difference between Sanders and Landry is speed. Landry is faster and more athletic than Sanders. If giving up big plays is an issue then we can try moving Moore to FS and letting Landry play SS. Moore can cover the field pretty good and has good speed. It could work

Imagine a secondary with Landry, Finnegan, Dunta, and Moore.

I couldn't imagine any scarier of a secondary in today's NFL.

If we let Grimes and DeCoud walk, I would be down for Finnegan and Griffin as replacement. I don't think we can get both but Griffin would be a good roaming safety in the back and draft a corner. I do like the thought of Griffin and Mathis.

This offseason will be crazy. I have no clue what will happen because there are so many possibilities

In Flavor Flav's voice "WOW" how can his wife price his value? I think Grimes will be smart enough to price himself respectively. Give more credit then that.

I just don't think she's gonna let him sign for much less than what the top corners are making... and he's not worth that. You really don't think she's gonna have a say?

I wouldn't mind if we only resigned HD and Lofton. Then sign Finnegan, Landry, Gaither, Mathis, maybe Hardwick lol. I would call it a win for the most part.

Don't like the idea of replacing Grimes with Finnegan. He's got a nasty attitude, and that is great and all, but it's a downgrade in talent.

Plus, the money would probably be about the same. So if the Falcons can't afford Grimes, they probably can't afford Finnegan either.

What about Carlos Rogers or Mathis out of Jacksonville

Both might take a hometown discount to add to it. To be completely honest, I'd be much more into Rogers at a 3 year, $20 million deal than Grimes asking for something in the range of 5yr/$50 million...
