[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 896851, member: 5830"] In the 2019 offseason, Gute went out and signed the Preston Smith, Za'Darius Smith, Adrian Amos, and a little known lineman in Billy Turner. All of these were great signings, in the fact that each of these guys has been a positive addition to the team...no FA busts. Factor in the money which I'll list below, and I'll ask the question. Who was the best FA signing of 2019? 4yrs - $52M Preston Smith (established starter but no breakout seasons; good health history) 4yrs - $66M Za'Darius Smith (good rookie season but only 4.5 sacks in 2 & 3; sports hernia surgery in 2019 offseason) 4yrs - $37M Adrian Amos (sure starter but not a playmaker) 4yrs - $28M Billy Turner (journeyman lineman; played on 3 teams in 5 seasons) The Smiths allowed Green Bay to move on from aging Clay Matthews and oft-injured Nick Perry. Amos allowed Green Bay to move on from HaHa Clinton-Dix. Billy Turner allowed the Packers to move from Byron Bell at guard. Za'Darius certainly earned his money last season. Both Smiths continue to play well this season. Amos has been the rock that we needed and has been improving in the second half of this season. I think that Billy Turner has been right up there with Jenkins as the MVP of the o-line, moving to whatever position is needed. My vote is for Turner being the best signing. He cost the least, has been extremely versatile, and really didn't have a track record that made this a home-run FA signing. It was the best free agent signing in 2019 IMO. [/QUOTE]
