Silva: Each NFL team enters the offseason with a series of pressing needs. Sometimes a team can address them all, sometimes they ignore them all. But if a team's smart, they'll listen to us. These are the most crucial aspects for NFC teams.

Arc's five up, five down: After No. 11 Michigan State's 58-48 upset of No. 3 Ohio State, you'd be a fool to discount the Spartans' national title chances now.

Jazz agreed to terms with F DeMarre Carroll.
Carroll was waived by Denver last week after averaging just 3.0 points in four games for the Nuggets this season. He's not likely to play a significant role in Utah.
Hornets waived G/F DaJuan Summers and G Carldell Johnson on Tuesday.
Summers actually made a couple starts, but neither player had any fantasy relevance this season.
Lakers waived F Derrick Caracter.
Caracter underwent knee surgery in December, killing any chance the 2010 second-round pick had for production.
Rockets waived F/C Jeff Adrien.
It's ironic that Adrien was waived one day after starting the second half in place of a benched Samuel Dalembert. He appeared in eight games on the year for the Rockets, averaging 2.6 points and 2.8 boards in 7.8 minutes.
Wizards waived C Hamady N'diaye.
N'diaye was a second-round pick in 2010. The shot-blocker appeared in just three games for the Wizards this season.
Cavs waived SG Mychel Thompson.
Thompson has started three straight games in place of Anthony Parker (back), but has made just 5-of-21 shots in that span. Daniel Gibson (neck) is healthy and projects as the starting shooting guard until Parker returns.
Warriors recalled F Chris Wright from the D-League.
Wright went undrafted out of Dayton. He appeared in garbage time of five games for the Warriors earlier this season before getting sent down.
Jeremy Lin hit a free throw with 4.9 seconds left to overcome a dreadful second half and lift the New York Knicks to their fifth straight victory, 100-98, over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.
