[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 651327, member: 7261"] I may have over stated the desire by some to "Sign every top named free agent" part, but what I meant is people see a Suh, Megatron, Bryant, etc. potentially available to sign and assume doing so will automatically improve the team. Maybe short run, but long run, signing players like that can really handcuff a team down the road when it comes to the cap. Look at the mess Miami is in right now. TT and Ball have successfully avoided those messes, by carefully (sometimes too much) keeping an eye on the cap. I think most of us agree TT needs to be a bit more active in the FA market, especially when there is a glaring need at a particular position and that need is great enough that only good fortune will fix it with a drafted or developed player. TE and ILB come to mind this year. I don't see anyone on the current roster that makes me say "yup.....they are ready to step up and assume a starting role and have an impact at TE or ILB." Nor do I think they will fill both of those needs this year, via the draft. So something has to happen in the FA dept. regarding one or both positions, IMO. [/QUOTE]
