For starters, we sign plenty of free agents. We just sign our own rather than someone else's castoffs. We signed Ryan Pickett, and Nick Collins to long term extensions and signed Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher just this year. Another thing, just because there's a free agent out there from another team doesn't mean he's gonna be a good fit for our team. If you look at most of the championship teams of the past decade, most of them make very few, if any free agent acquisitions. Building through the draft has proven to be the best method for building a long-term championship quality team. Next, Cromartie is lazy and doesn't like to play the scheme we have. Automatic bad fit. Folks have already commented on the Atogwe contract demands. No way we pay the price he was tendered at. Finally, we picked up CJ Wilson and Mike Neal to address our defensive line and to serve as a replacement for Jolly, whom I believe is done being a Packer. Neal already looked strong in our past game, and Wilson is going to be a work in progress. All in all I think we're more than fine. I do think our secondary got exploited this past weekend, but I'm chalking that up to a mostly vanilla scheme played most of the game.</blockquote>
