Free Agency hasnt even been going on for a week. In that short amount of time, we have filled a DE hole, and signed a backup quarterback, whom Kubiak feels strongly about, and signed an FB that may start or contribute on special teams. Not too impressive, as most of you have not hesitated to share your opinions.
i still read complaints about addressing the lines, the big guys in the trenches.
the players above are just the players we signed immediately. we have been talking with Putzier, Flanagan, Hallen, and Givens. These are players at positions we need to upgrade. Why is anyody still crying? No matter what, this team is going to be better than last year. We are signing people that can boost that improvement even more.
Weaver - DE
Cook - FB
Rosenfels - QB
Flanagan - OC
Hallen - OG
Givens - WR
Putzier - TE
except for fullback and backup quarterback, these are all needs we have discussed in reference to the draft.
Mangold/Eslinger - OC
Gilles - OG
Moss/Stovall - WR
Williams - DE
Davis/Pope/Byrd/Klop/etc. - TE
the team is looking to fill the needs we all publicly acknowledge. sure, these players havent necessarily come at discount prices, but we arent paying these guys an arm and a leg either.
we ARE being fiscally responsible, and we are patching up our holes.
What else do you expect?
