been able to if we signed Thuney for that much.
I get it, and I'm trying to be positive here, but other holes aren't looking very filled. Like, as in no holes filled whatsoever. I remember Reader and Waynes were announced out of the blue, so maybe something is coming down the pipe.
There's something to be said for letting the market settle and getting talent at value, but there's a fine line between being patient and smart and watching free agency blow past you while other teams load up.
The real head scratcher is the teams doing the signing. Tampa and KC are both teams paying a chunk of cap to top-end quarterbacks. Still, they have the balls and smarts to hunt free agent big game. The Bengals have a QB on a rookie deal plus a pile of free cap and they're in the corner poking at a pile of poo-poo with a stick they found. They are the exact team that can and should be loading up and they're, so far, embarrassing themselves.
