Ridley still sitting out there.    You can safely move on from Higgins with a much cheaper option and pretty similar production.

The Mixon for Moss move is simply ridiculous.   For that little savings?   Good luck having Moss stay healthy.     I'm assuming Chase Brown is going to get a healthy bulk of the work.  Mixon was a workhorse, one of the emotional leaders of this team and very dependable and consistent.

 Mixon cut and Moss addition netted us additional cap money.

We had no TE on the roster, we signed Sample and Gesicki for team friendly deals. 

We signed back our back up RB Williams and ST star Davis - Gaither

We upgraded Geno Stone from Scott

What would you have done differently on day 1 of FA?

If I told you we signed Higgins for 4 years 72 million,  would you have been excited?  That's rhetorical.

Huge opportunity missed. 

You can't sign Higgins to $24-27 million,  he's not that guy.

Maybe they're just waiting for the dust to settle and don't want to overpay for a player, which isn't them being cheap but just trying to be smart because no other teams have jumped on them, either.

And they're playing it smart with Reader by not overpaying him coming off injury and letting him test the market. I do agree that they need to get a DT soon.

I'm definitely not panicking yet and glad we're not overpaying for anyone and making any quick decisions.

far as what he is good at. Getting another 3-tech in Rankins who is a versatile, better pass rusher than what we currently have is a big upgrade.

It is why I was afraid to side with the negative nancy's it always ends up looking bad. More work to do but they are starting to look bad now.

You certainly can't be convinced that Mixon for Moss and saving a few million in cap space is worth the risk of losing stability in the run game.

Where is the help on the O-line? I pray it's coming.

Let's revisit this thread after the draft. My hunch is it will not age well.

Today I was questioning the FO and coaches, but they ended bringing in a player I wanted before hand in Rankins.
