That said, I realize how bad a shape we were in going into FA at the T position. We had Glenn, and Perkins. That's it. The way I read this is like this: they overpaid a bit, but not as much as people think due to the market established, and the new cap. I'll say they probably DID panic a bit. That said, I'm not sure I blame them....the FA T class was not very good to start with. They know what they have in Hart, and will try to upgrade in the draft or possibly on the waiver wire. They could have gotten another player that was marginally better for more money, missed on Dennard or Eifert as a result, and then said FA comes in and goes all Albert Haynesworth and then you're ******.
The way it was, you overpay even more for a marginally better prospect, lose an internal FA, or you roll with Ced O on the roster in place of Hart. I could be missing something....but I don't see any All Pro FA RT signed this offseason. As I keep mentioning, Piano Man FUBARed us much more than people realize. That idiot set this position group back a good four years with his incompetence. With the way tackles are coming out of college so ill-prepared, you aren't seeing a lot of good tackles out there in FA these days. If they're good, teams are paying to keep them.....well, besides us.
Thanks for this post Wyche, made me feel better and with a decent draft where we add a decent RT and a couple LB's we might be more than fine. But this Troy guy needs to shut his trap and not come off like an ass hat as Harley says. Seriously made me question the future of our favorite team.
