Vigil was terrible, I’m ecstatic he’s gone. Addition by subtraction. Dennard was decent, but he rivaled Eifert and AJ in how injury prone he was. Reader over Billings was a huge upgrade, and if a team like Pittsburgh or Dallas made that signing the media would be heaping praise all over it. Vonn Bell might be one of the most underrated signings of this FA. He’s in his prime and we locked him up for 3 years. Same with Reader. And both those guys had multiple other teams going after them.

You’re out of your mind if you’re not encouraged by all this. But I disagree with J24 about 99% of the time, so this really doesn’t surprise me all that much.

I don't get it either ?

Historically this team has done little to nothing in free agency, we all know their M.O. Now we go and get not 1, not 2, not 3, you could argue 4 pretty much top end free agents for our awful defense and they're still bitching.

We got burnt alive on our run D not only last season it's been bad for some time and we signed guys who can tackle. 10, 15, close to 20 points higher PFF grades. How many times did you see 7 yard passes against us turn into 20 yard gains last season ?

Ok, thus far we haven't got a top end LBer or Oline. Free agency isn't over and there's still umm the draft. Not to mention camp cuts.

They've done something they just don't do, I'm ecstatic !!
