My coaching changes
All my new coaches can go to 4 Performance except my STC and QBC. I kept GM Ross because they're weren't any good GMs available. I missed out on Clyde Christiansen as my WRC; I just couldn't surrender enough control. I'll try again next year. Here's the new members pf my coaching staff and how they develop:
OC Jim Caldwell-48-Playcall only goes to 4, the rest to 5. TE development only goes to 3, the rest to 4 or 5. Special Skills-QB Readiness, Improved QB reads, and Game Film Analysis.
DC Ron Rivera-51-Team Chemistry only goes to 3, the rest to 5. Weak on physical development skills, the rest go to 5. Special Skills-Ambition, Improved Block Shedding, and Speed Training.
QBC Paul Hackett-30-Will look to replace next year if I can. Performance only goes to 3. Physical development goes to 5, the others to 4. No special skills
RBC Lorenzo Westbrook-Performance goes to 4, but others cap at 2. Decent development. SS-Improved Carrying
WRC Mike Tice-49-Playcall only goes to 2, the rest to 4 or 5. Performance goes to 4. All development go to at least 4. SS-Receiver Discipline
OLC Tim Cobble-35-All go to 4, except Playcall. All development go to 4 or 5. No SS.
LBC Mike Katkavage-40-All regular skills go to 5 except Strategy. Development goes to 4 or 5. SS-Already has Ambition, so specials are cheaper. Starts with Strength Training. You can expect him to leave in a couple years though.
DBC Dan White-17-Performance goes to 5. Strategy goes to 3, the rest to 4. Average in development.No SS. Position coaches that develop to 5 Performance are rare, so a keeper.
DLC Jim Tomsula 17-A real diamond in the rough. Skills mostly at 1 for now. Performance goes to 4, the others to 4 or 5. All development skills go to 5. No SS.
Trainer Robert Wyman-Skills maxed at 5. SS-Off-season Rehab.
Offseason period:
Signings- TE Tony Gonzalez, HB Fred Taylor, and HB Chester Taylor.
Cuts-WR Joe Horn
I'll list where the major FA and where they ended up this time around. I'll also reveal some of the information on potential draftees, since I've already done a Balanced breakdown of this draft.
Franchise Tag-Ravens-ROLB Terrell Suggs, Bears-RolB Lance Briggs, Patriots-SS Rodney Harrison. That's twice in a row the Bears have franchised Briggs. The last time they did that, he re-fused to re-sign with them and entered FA after 2009.
RFA-TE Quinn Sypniewski-Level 2 Tender. He's not on my roster after the draft, so I'll check later what team he ended up with.
Draft Information:
Spoiler
Noah Wyoming-97 THP, Speed 70, 67 Agl, Acl 71. He's more mobile than Woodson, so he'll be the starter in 2009.

Dravannti Jordan-100 Acceleration and Speed, 86 Durability.
P Shane Lechler-93 Overall-Age 32, RG Randy Thomas-91 Overall-Age 32, C Nick Hardwick-91 Overall-Age 26, DT Tommy Harris-90 Overall-Age 23, RT Jon Jansen-90 Overall-Age 32, Marques Colston (RFA)-89 Overall-Age 25, SS Kerry Rhodes-89 Overall-Age 26.
