[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 1023581, member: 4199"] No disagreement. My point specifically about misses is more about TT's tenure ending. When Gute **** over, the roster was a bit of mess and lacked some top end talent worth spending money on. Or it was old. Exactly how we ended up there, that's what let us spend big. I don't see it as a handcuff. This year was a good opportunity to let the young players hash it out and see what we had. Even with more cap space, I wouldn't have advocated for big spending. I don't think we lost anyone due to money. Z was hurt a lot and became a locker room problem. Amos and Turner got old and slow. Partially. But also the impact players don't make it to FA. The original teams re-sign those guys early. The players that are cut or make it to FA have at least some kind of asterisk next to their names. So you take a risk or you overpay. Or maybe both. Even the best FAs in Packer history have them. Reggie: Old and as being a named plaintiff in the lawsuit that gave us modern free agency, he was excluded from the Franchise Tag. Pickett: 1st round pick, "just" a run plugger. Rams deemed him expendable. Woodson: Finished several seasons in Oakland on IR. Most of the league viewed him as needing to covert to S. Peppers: Deemed over the hill/not worth his contract and cut by the Bears. And I already covered our 2019 class. I'm not sure if we have any pressing needs that warrant a FA splash. I wouldn't mind a 3rd tier OL for depth, but our big deficiency is RB and S. Everywhere else is young and ascending. I'm also not sure who's a pending FA that would legitimately help our team.
