is the only FA out there worth signing? June cuts won't matter? Nobody else is out there right now? Forget the draft? No one has any idea what was offered to Colvin or when. Today was the first I heard of our offer to Jackson. C'mon You guys, it isn't all doom and gloom. Lay off of Tango. At least he tries to stay positive. Time will tell.
Sure but most of the June cuts will be guys we pursued 2-3 years ago and didn't get. So they're 2-3 years older, less effective, and being cut because they refuse to take paycuts to stay on their current teams.
Remember Graves said we were modelling ourselves after Pittsburgh, target 7 guys on each side of the ball and lock them up as the core of the team. Apparently those 14 guys were already on the roster and include names like Baron Tanner, Josh McCown, Bryan Gilmore and the like.
I tried giving Graves the benefit of the doubt, he's got to start proving by adding talent. I don't blame Graves for this mess at all, as I posted before his job is much more difficult to do here than on another team, but he took the job and he's got to start doing something.
Face it we wanted Colvin, we didn't get him.
