So what's next for Kevin Colbert after a wonderful offseason in which he signed Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, Willie Colon and Ike Taylor to new long-term contracts and brought in veteran wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery for valuable depth?

Not to belittle the signings in any way, but a great offseason IMO is based on how good your cap situation looks a couple years down the road. I do appreciate that we're an organization of humble *producers* like Colbert and not neon-sign waving egomaniacs.
