this Free agency has been a disaster so far. imagine if we let McCourty go to the eagles. Apparently we are going to keep the 12+million in cap space and not spend any of it...
but, just because he hasn't signed there doesn't mean he wont
It's too bad we won't be "free agency winners" once again, which usually guarantees you will disappointed by the end of the season. Maybe next year we will pay $20M a year and over $60M guaranteed for a defensive tackle with character concerns while about eight of our players walk away to other teams. Or, we could spend $30M on three cornerbacks, two of whom are over 30, with extreme player-friendly deals that are impossible to walk away from because of their structure. Finally, we could tone it down a little, find a declining running back coming off a down year who is unhappy despite a bloated contract, tear up the contract, give him much, much more money, then find the biggest turd WR in the NFL and give him $6M in guaranteed money with no incentives (a guy who has now been dropped from three organizations for his attitude), and finally we can pay an offensive guard who was kicked out of football for being such a dink that even tough NFL players unanimously thought he crossed the line.
And then we can join the awesomeness that is the rest of the AFC East, resting on their laurels right now as pundit after pundit praises them for their aggressive push to take over the division.
