We are getting rid of all our home-grown talents.
We had gotten rid of Law, Vinatieri, McGinnest, Givens, and (soon) Branch.
In their place, we picked up free agents like Duane Starks, Monty Biesel, Chad Brown, and Reche Caldwell.
We have one of the best QBs in NFL history who took a pay discount and we are surrounding him with Reche Caldwell, Eddie Berlin, Zuriel Smith, and John Stone.
I don't understand it.

Berlin and Stone are already cut, Smith will not make the team.
And now Caldwells name is being added to the mix of crappy players that have failed with us. He hasnt even played a regular season game for god sakes, rag on the guy when he either gets injured or produces another 20 catch season.
Brown, Jackson, Caldwell and Childress all make the team. Someone else will make it.
Law is already getting burned by recievers. Vinatieri has himself a broken foot, McGinnest is old and Givens will be nada without Brady, we'll see about Branch. Prediction is he goes on IR after one full season.
