I'm affraid Ferguson was the one non-probowl player we just couldn't afford to lose.
With that in mind I have an idea, something I think we need to explore here over the next few weeks.
Acquire via trade the best NT we possibly can. At the very least acquire a DT whose games translates well to the NT position.
I hate making unfavorable deals where we give up more "value", but sometimes the situation warrants it.
I see us with a few valuable chips to deal:
Our 2008 1st rd pk, our 2008 2nd rd pk and TE Fasano.
I'm not saying this will be easy. But it can be done. It just comes down to how much value you're willing to kick in.
In an ideal world we'd find a 3-4 team with an excellent backup NT, a huge need at TE and a high opinion of Fasano.
All that in one team may be a bit much.
However, I'm sure there are a number of NT/DT's that could help us, quality guys who were no where close to being cut. Guys who are held in high esteme by their teams and the league.
I'm also sure they're a lot of good opinions on Fasano.
Maybe we deal with more than one team.
One way or another, we need to do something. We cant let our season be undone while we hold an extra 2008 1st in our pocket and a starting quality TE on the bench.
