The franchise has continued to make some really solid calls in FA and extensions. Outside the Waynes deal which was derailed by injuries they really haven't missed.
Moves like...
- Spain when everyone wanted Thuney
- extending Hubbard early for a good value
- Hendrickson over Lawson
- Awuzie and Hilton for the price of WJ3
- Eli Apple as an off the street capable starter when needed
- Ogunjubi over Geno
- NOT cutting CJ Uzomah for the cap savings for a parallel move at TE
- Holding off on Bates coming off a career year.
They have come up aces on pretty much anything having to do with spending so far, I guess we will see how it proceeds into the future. Hubbard though is truly the emotional leader on the defense and I think even beyond his stats that needs to be recognized as the defense continues to ascend.
All excellent points. Some of these moves were criticized, even by me with the Lawson move. I was a huge Lawson truther and while I still think he was a fantastic rusher, I didn't weigh his injury history strongly enough. Hendrickson has been fantastic and so has Hubbard. Really, the FO pretty much nailed this past off-season.
