Olivier Vernon is now THE HIGHEST PAID DE IN FOOTBALL....


Did any of you actual notice/talk about him during the season?


Would have loved him here, but that is just ridiculous.

Why aren't you posting what Mike Kaye is tweeting?

 

All you are doing is posting Ryan O and Hays tweets.

It really is disappointing we didn't come away with more.  Too bad free agency is over, and doesn't continue on for a few more weeks or anything.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

Nope. Season is over and this is the worst free agency period ever!

Well we got one of the best defensive players available with Malik I'd hope we grab a couple more guys but not bad free agency to me.

@ryanohalloran People ripping Sweezy, but he was on #Jaguars radar, which would have allowed them to move Linder to center.

Free agency only lasts 15 minutes.

It's free agency. Not like it's a fantasy football draft. There weren't any players out there of Ware or Talib's calibre. I can't feel disappointmentioned because we didn't mortgage the future for overpaid players. Malik was overpaid, but he was the best of the bunch. I love the Ivory signing. I'll wait until after the draft before I jump off the nearest building.

I am pretty sure Vernon did a stupid 15 yard penalty that moved us way closer to field goal position to win that game.

We got a building block for the defense for the next 4-6 years. We have pieces. Now that reality has set in; Caldwell was not going to build a complete defense in free agency like the Giants did lol (lets see how that plays to this year). He will acquire talent that makes sense and I have no qualms about that. One top level guy, 1-3 mid level guys and 1-3 C class guys is about right. Plus a deep defensive draft. Sounds good to me.

Really hope we don't move Linder. He's a beast at RG.

When you have more money than anyone else you should, you know, be able to buy what you want.

Wish we would've gotten Irvin. Contract really wasn't that much.
