Brady - No
Branch - No
Just drafted young RB's to go with Dillon. Defensive Line and Secondary are VERY young except for Harrison. 3 Young Stud TE's. Their 3 biggest problems are Offensive line, Linebacker and Kicker. They need one LB, 1 or 2 OL and a kicker that will make some kicks. I have NO doubt that they will fill those holes!
Chiefs should be back in the hunt w/D-minded Dungy. KC was second best team not to make playoffs (Chargers best imo).
Chargers had their bolt up their tail when they got rid of Breese.
Biggest disappointment will be Bengals who may not make the playoffs. They relied heavily on turnovers to get some early wins, but when playoff time rolled around it was lights out.
Don't have a sleeper team yet. Saints???
New Orleans eliminated their two biggest stumbling blocks: Aaron Brooks and Jim Haslette. They have Drew Breese with a respectable receiving corp along with a decent run game even before adding Reggie Bush into the mix who will give them the screen option and open up the play action game too. Big question mark for Saints is defense.
I can tell you this. Unlike the last few seasons, the locker room is oozing with a positive attitude and spirit. Looking to put the Katrina season behind them, they could be solid once their offense gels, provided they play at least mediocre D.

It seems that way Wayne, but anyone from the N.O. area can tell you that the last few seasons there just seems to be a cloud over the practices and locker room. New Orleans talk radio has been abuzz about why the organization extended Haslette's contract; how Aaron Brooks continues to rub the fans and many teammates the wrong way; why the Saints can finish out the season strong; etc. It's been a real, unspoken, negative spirit. Kinda' like the players wish they could say how they really feel (rich basicly reflects the sentiments of the fans but they know they might face reprecussiones)

N.O. is one of those teams where i'll believe it when i see it. I don't see ANY chance of the Playoffs for them in a rugged NFC ... Plus, injuries to the QB & RB always leave question marks ......
