I didn't see them going after a big time player with a big time contract, but I think its BB and SP showing how smart they are. They could have just stayed conservative within the system that they've used to obvious success before, but instead they see the league changing around them and know better than to be left behind. They know that with the cap growing by so much each year that they can afford a few big contracts to bring in big time players or to keep players from leaving.

Lampshade

I expected them to be aggressive, but no, not THIS aggressive. And not this early. But, to paraphrase from Pulp Fiction, we had to expect a reaction.

I didn't expect it to be done on the first day....but I half expected Thomas to be a Patriot since the Pro Bowl. I knew we'd make a much bigger splash than last year.

This is all that I care about.

With all the cap space they had I expected them to do more than they have the last couple of years. What exactly I didn't know. But they weren't going to use all that space just signing guys to low priced deals. Unless they signed a lot of them. Like 100 - I didn't really know they'd go as high as Thomas's deal but there were bound to be a couple of 3 or 4 mill a year guys signed. You have to know BB must really like Thomas's versatile play. And I can't believe the guy played CB. A 270 lb CB. Dam.

true. i think that BB and SP liked him really a lot in order to be so resolutes

I thought they would be aggressive in the mid-level market. I really expected to see somebody like London Fletcher or Donnie Edwards brought in. Glad we got that A.D. guy instead!

I didn't expect them to go this crazy but if you look at it, it makes sense. Last year they didn't expect to have extra cap room (until after the CBA meetings) so they were not prepared at all. This year it makes sense to sign players quickly because 1) you aren't letting anyone get away 2) you get to set the standard for contracts. Brilliant!

Fabolous.

I wouldn't say we've really been that "aggressive" myself. We've made a big signing and a couple small ones. Certainly no more than expected.
