Quote:Actually, its you just failing to understand their vision.

 

They got rid of players who were not in their future plans and brought in cheap guys to hopefully find a diamond in the rough or two like Seattle did. They did not spend on big name big contract players because there is no point to do that in a year when you dont have a QB, and you know you wont be competitive. This year was all about finding young guys who could possibly contribute long term, it wasnt about trying to win 5 games.

 

This offseason, now that we have tons of cap space because we didnt waste any last year, we will spend on some higher profile guys. We could easily add 1 very good interior offensive lineman, 1 good LEO, and some a couple other mid level guys where patching needs done.

 

Combine the FA with the draft and we can solve the offensive line, QB, RB, and LEO spots. We would still not have much depth because you need to find solid starters at all positions before building it up, but the only holes remaining would be LBs and a run stuffing DT and a 5tech.

 

Wrong, go back and look of the 9 new starters Seattle had in year 1 of the rebuild 4 of them where on the roster the previous year (IE the opposite of what the Jags did they evaluated what they had), 1 was traded for (Lynch) and 3 guys they brought in Free Agency as stop gap players the last one was a drafted rookie.

 

15 of Seattles 21 starters where on the roster in 2009, 1 of their starters in 2010 was a rookie they drafted, and the remaining 5 where free agents/trades

 

Jacksonville on the other hand has 35 of 53 new players in year 1.
