There is nothing wrong with dumpster diving when it comes to free agency.
Do you TRY to block out the 40 years of failure or have you subconsciously created a block in your brain where shitty strategies that have 40 years of negative info behind them sound good to you?
As a small market team we have to do more than dumpster dive. Am I saying go to the extreme and pull a Miami Dolphins and sign 3 of the top 4 free agents like they did when they sign Mike Wallace and others? HELL NO
But dumpster diving as weve done for years is also an extreme that does not breed success. And its extremely cheap
There is absolutely something wrong with dumpster diving when you haven't won a playoff game since 1990 and the last time you were in the superbowl was when Jerry Rice and Joe Montana were still playing. Mike Clown is notoriously cheap and would rather pay his own average to mediocre vets above market deals to keep fans off his back rather than pay someone whose actually in their prime to come in here and make an impact.
