To me, the reality is that nothing has really changed. We signed one of our own guys (Eifert) and signed a couple of bargain bin types (Brown and Baker) and now claim that they have to cut some salary after the draft (Lord knows why when we still have $18 million under the cap)
The Glenn trade was a nice change, but it really wasn't too far from the norm. We've traded late rounders for guys before. We still refuse to make any moves in free agency because they will harm our comp picks. We still have major holes on the roster where we will be relying on long term backups or rookies to fill in week 1.
Hopefully we see a C drafted early - or it's going to be another long year. Hopefully we can see another interior guy drafted early that can play or we are going to see the same crap that we did last.
I really like the Brown pick up personally, I wouldn't call him a bargain pick up.
I do agree to some extent, we are getting better players than we had before and that will go along way, but Lewis needs to change his approach to games more than anything. Will that happen?
