Luckily they can cut Sidney Rice to take care of some of that. I think they will have another shot next year but then shrewd drafting will determine their future. They definitely have it in them to stay competitive, but I think Russell Wilson is closer to Flacco than Brady. Tough to commit $100 mil to him.

I don't think they re-sign bennett. Bennett was a huge acquisition for them in the offseason and completely undervalued. He had a massive year but with money tied up in other spots, I think he's the odd man out. He'll get a big payday from someone else.

That's the advantage of having Wilson, Sherman, Thomas and even Chancellor on the (relatively) cheap. You can overpay bennett and avril and give it a go.
