plugging holes = improvement
Absolutely. As I said orginally, I'm not againts that idea and I'm certainly not looking at this offseason as a fail if they don't sign a stud free agent. At the same time, I hope that's at least considered.
For example, if Mario Williams has an interest in joining the Pats, maybe be willing to sign for a little less than his max value, that's something that should strongly be considered. It's not simply that players like him don't come around very often, they also aren't always going to be interested in becoming a Patriot. I'd hate to think we could have brought in a player like him but decided against it to save room to sign a safety. (and considering the minimal amount of FAs available and in the draft, they might cost way more than theyre worth, similar to the Bodden situation)
That's my point. If we can plug all our holes and add depth, that's great. I just don't want it to be at the expense of even considering players like Williams, Colston, etc.
