We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

It would be a major mistake if Veach goes the Ted Thompson route and tries to rebuild the defense (and the remaining needs on offense such as #2 TE) almost exclusively through the draft. [Reply]

And I'm gonna go back to what I said when we hired the guy - there's little in his track record that says we should view Spags as some kind of defensive genius, fellas. He has a LOT of shit on his resume. I'm not too certain I'm real gung-ho about "In Spags We Trust" here.
When I see a guy who's been pretty mediocre his entire NFL career and I have a DC who's put forward more clunkers over the last decade that merely decent defenses, I'm not sure how excited I am to just say "oh that's alright, he'll fix Waynes" and then throw cash/capital at him.
To my eyes, Spags needs talent just as much as any DC. He's not a guy who looks like he's gonna make chicken salad from chicken shit, be that an entire unit or an individual player. I can't really point to any instances of him doing so.
Here we go. You have a new enemy it appears. [Reply]
