Free agents often go where the money is. Bad teams are able to sign FA's all the time.

Before anyone says it, no, signing free agents isn't why teams are bad. It's just that bad teams often have more cap space because they don't have good players of their own to resign. That's why we should have a ton of free cap space this off-season.

My biggest fear is we're going to go thru another cookie cutter MB offseason. Retain 95% of the current roster. Get a B- free agent and a C+. Trade nobody for picks. Rely 100% on the 7 picks we have. Stay the course !

And we'll slowly watch QB #3 erode like the others.

Exactly what I'm worried about. I want to see Burrow in the best situation possible. It takes a team to win a SB. Even with a great QB.

This whole regime got off to a late start on all fronts. The only one I fault for anything is Tobin. He should've tried to be more aggressive in the FA period. He knows the weaknesses of the team already. But he did draft Jonah, and for that, I at least give him credit for it. He did try to improve the OL, not his fault Jonah got injured.

Not to speak for him, but when people know crappy weather is coming, they often still complain about the crappy weather.
