They absolutely are. Huge spending spree and active aren't the same thing, and activity is badly needed. Singing a guy like Zeitler would be practically impossible under Hobson's stated cap room, anyway. He's a 7-8 mil per year player, and re-signing Lawson or Jackson is going to be at least a 12 million dollar chunk of his number. That leaves a million or 2 to sign everyone else, which isn't enough even if they only bring back only low-end vets.
If they aren't under pressure, as you state, then why even bring back Zeitler? If you are correct then they could just extend Redmond and be done with it.
They've talked a huge game from Elizabeth Blackburn on to Tobin in his presser. The offseason Hobson suggests is nothing like the one people higher up in the organization have put out there.
