Back is Geep Chryst, who was the man behind Jake Plummer's best year in 1998, the most successful year the Cards have seen in recent history. A new stadium is on the way, and Aneas Williams is staying put. All this, and there are still major questions on the offensive side of the ball. No running back has stepped to the forefront, but Michael Pittman and Thomas Jones should both improve next year barring injury.
Wide receiver is still a question mark, and a third receiver is needed.
Thus I don't look for any major free-agent signings, though I believe a guy like Matthew Hatchette of Minnesota could be a perfect complement to Frank Sanders and David Boston, but not a likely move. Doug Johnson isn't the guy of the future. After three tries, the Falcons finally have their guy of the future in Eric Zeir. All injured key players from last year are recovered. Ray Buchannan has resigned and will retire a Falcon.
