So, guys like Marcus McNeil would NOT be free agents next year if there is no new CBA.

In the 2nd, it would depend on who was there, but I think Benn would be an option and so would Brandon Spikes. Also I like George Selvie in the 3rd. If we could get one of the Pat's 2nd rounders, I'd consider Jason Fox or Evan Royster. Just my opinion. I’d take Berry with the 1st if available.

In an un-capped season it will be a free for all and the FA's looking for bigtime money will be flocking to WAS or DAL or possibly even SEA. But at the same time, aren't the Chiefs still under the required cap? Didn't Pioli stockpile a GOB of cash? Gee, wonder what that's for. This team is not the Patriots. Sure, maybe big splashes aren't pioli's forte. Can he afford another blown season by passing on such a big crop of talent? I don't think he can. He wants this job, he wants to turn this team around and this offseason is going to be critical in doing so. I say they do make a splash, especially on D (and don't think DL is limited to NT, there are some terrific pass rushers there). DD has a point to some extent.
