LB Van Ginkel in the house

So we’ve signed 2 LBs now. Does that move Pace to the pine? Seems odd. I thought he played really well. Or Metellus? Same deal.

Not gonna complain about any sort of talent infusion on the defense though.

Asamoah I guess is toast until he proves otherwise. No shock there. 

Yeah, surprised as well with the two LB signings, thought we'd go DL in FA.

I'm thinking this will spell some players, and free up some fresh speed on blitz packages....and you've gotta love that.

I still think this is window dressing if they dont address DL, especially DT.

Me three...

What does this mean for Pace? For Hicks?

Are these more "Edgy" type guys???

Keep in mind troops, the "first round" are typically the big money signings....and that's not really our M.O. (Which is what scares me about JJ)

Gotta temper your emotions on some of these "high maka maka" guys.  Most play for that second contract, and many will phone it in, once they've landed it.  Tough to discern those guys, but much can be taken away from the Haynesworth / Washington deal so many years ago. 

Glad that the Vikings are giving Flores some pieces to work with - If you wanna do the cooking, you should be able to do the shopping...

Lets go get Hunt or Ziegler and grade some roads

LOL.  Fitting, all the Cat Construction equipment dealerships in this part of the world are owned by a Ziegler.

Hicks is a free agent.

It's a nice start. No one old, best D infusion in years, real players.

What’s interesting is the deals for the 3 guys so far are 2, 3, and 4 years. Staggering them makes me think we’re trying to build something longterm rather than create a window. I like that I think. Not fun when everyone is a FA all at once.
