Free agency and a salary cap also implies you can lose players. We need a better scouting department! Having coaches scout at a high level just isn't practical.

We know that MB doesn't really like free agency. Props to the team for spending this past offseason. It's rare when they shell out that amount of cash for free agents. I liked the Reader and Bell signings especially. Alexander was a nice 1 year deal. I thought the Waynes signing was meh, but they changed up from Kirkpatrick who they deemed as not working.

Right, he didn't adapt. So, who's to say Paul wouldn't have though? Right? We have no way of knowing that, but the old man made trades when he needed to. Now, he wasn't infallible, of course. He made the Walsh mistake. That's all up to speculation on the FA and Paul Brown. What we do know was that he was always onto some very innovative things in football.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see the FA haul this off-season.
