We've had a lot of really good FA signings and the only reason yall are trying to downplay their impact is because you're trying to rationalize the disaster that was yesterday's failures. Don't be slaves to your biases like that.
Most of our success has come from signing lower or mid-priced free agents. Poor drafting (particularly in the first round) has done more to hurt this team than anything else.

Both have experience in our new offense. Dorsett is really, really fast when healthy. Urban wants more speed.
(So was Laurent Robinson)
Patriots have signed Hunter Henry. Great job Urban
Re-signing Sidney Jones makes for a good start to Day 2 of free agency. Yesterday was very underwhelming, to say the least, but landing Henry or Golladay would immediately give our fans a big boost. I wouldn't be shocked to see them shock everybody by landing Trent Williams for major bucks.
Henry signs with the Patriots.

Extremely disappointing.

I'll admit this is the one guy I wanted, because we have nothing at TE and the market and draft are so thin outside of Pitts from UF.
Trent williams, reiff and Golladay even though I think Goladay is meh and will be too expensive...

Agree completely - and I think it'll take too much to move up from 25 to where we can take Pitts, likely inside the top ten.

Who's to say Urban didn't offer him the same or more? Josh Johnson said he turned down "significantly more money" from somewhere else (probably Jags) to play for the Browns. Sometimes players just don't want to play somewhere.
Losing out on Smith and Henry is a disaster. We have literally nothing at TE. We’re going to have to reach for one in the draft now, and outside of Pitts, they all seem a bit meh.

Everett is still out there. While not Jonnu/Henry, he's still better than who we've had recently
Why would you got to NE as their #2 TE with Cam Newton at QB?
It's time for Marcedes Lewis to retire as a Jaguar. Who's with me?

Josh Oliver says hi, 6'5" 250lbs, 4.6 speed
What about Everett from the Rams?

Sorry but until proven otherwise, the only thing Josh Oliver says hi to is the injury bug....
Who's Josh Oliver? Never heard of him.
