Alex, I am so wanting to see something too. My gut feeling is that we will see something.

Hope so, cos RB, FS and TE2 are our 'stellar' sign. All of which could be slightly overpaid.

OL not sure was upgraded.
0 WRs
0 DEs
0 DTs and we lost Jones.

Im worried

I think OL was upgraded.

I don't think WR or DE was and I think we are worse off at DT

But obviously not done yet. And some may be addressed via draft, but not sure how he will do that if he uses the first pick on Williams. Just kind of waiting to see what happens. Not much else I can do since Poles has defriended me.

Another incredible sign.
Luckily, he is not top quality, but he is also old enough to already reach his ceiling.

At this point I see 4th place in NFCN much closer than playoff.

Did somebody say "reach"?

Well, I'll have you know, Mr Coleman Shelton has an arm length of 31 1/2 inches.

FYI, Bates has 32 1/4 in long arms.

You always overpay in FA, that how it works. OL was upgraded at C and swing tackle. We might not like the players brought in, if they are better than Patrick and the remains of Whitehair, then it was a upgrade a C.

I thought Jones wasn't anything special last year. Dexter and Pickens should be stepping up into that role. Still DEs on the market.

I'm looking for a WR signing in two in the next few weeks, fingers crossed for Williams.

You are correct. Reach was indeed invoked!

I'm sorry but this is in the bizarre /stupid category:

Center is a position of need not want

It's a center rich draft as was FA to an extent

These guys are seemingly depth pieces.

They never even gave Kramer a few live snaps in a regular season game.

I get the money ball tactics on a few things but it seems like Poles is re-creating Patrick-Whitehair all over.

Poles is a O-line guy. Why wouldn't you just put a direct fix to it when able and they are able?

Sure wouldnt want Justin Jones at 3yr/$30M. His play was mediocre.

If his play was mediocre, why wouldn't we go after him, lol

4th place? At least we won't be last again. Oh, NM.

I definitely agree. I'm ok with 4th place in the division. I just don't want to be in last place!

Poles got Bates for about $4M and Shelton for about $3M. The Dolphins got one center for about $7M. Poles got 2 for the price of 1. Wonder whether he does the same when buying his suits and shoes?
