I get what you're saying, but if you can improve a position at a reasonable price, why not?  It's not a moral victory in my book, it's trying to find a way to finally win one of those damn playoff games.  Our current method hasn't panned out....and I'm all for getting a vet WR.  We're discussing potential FAs, Fairley ain't terrible, and while getting younger is the idea, we can't wait on another "development", imo.

Speaking of names, the Rams just cut Lauraintitis (sp?)....was he playing anywhere near decent anymore?  Cut DE Long too.

I don't see it as an improvement because it means they won't address it in the draft. And I'm not joking when I say this would be the WORST year to do that in awhile. 
CBS has 6 true DTs in the top 32. 8 in the top 40.
That doesn't include hybrid or guys who played 5T in college. 
It's a lateral step if anything to add a DT in FA right now. 

Laurenitis is a fringe improvement over Hawk/VRey at best.
Long I would take to get rid of the abomination that is Hunt/Clarke as our back up DEs and I think out of Fisher's system he could still be of use.
This years DE class is not great. So I would accept FA there.
