Not trying to be a dick, just asking ....a 6-25-1 record.  

We needed to address the DL and CB and we did.  Great job.  

I guess that's what happens when you can't draft worth shit.  

They really didn't go out on a limb this past FA either.
The amount it cost to sign Hendrickson, Awuzie, and Hilton was about the same as what WJ3, Lawson, and Alexander signed for elsewhere.
So they really only signed outside FAs out of necessity from other guys leaving.

They signed Ogunjobi and Reiff to one-year deals, but those deals weren't big. $6.1 mill for Ogunjobi, $7.5 mill for Reiff spread out across two seasons for cap purposes.

The big whiff for me was not being willing to even spend $7.5 mill a year on Zeitler, let alone not being a serious contender for Thuney or Linsley.
They had the cap to sign any of these guys, but they didn't want to spend that much for IOL.
