Be careful what you wish for.  FA is always a crapshoot.  Plus, a big signing can upset the balance in the locker room, especially if the new $50 million man acts like royalty or tanks it on the field.  Or both.  For every Poz the Jags have signed in FA, there have been 3 or 4 Jerry Porters.  Caldwell has done pretty well with lower-tier FAs like Marks and Miller, and also with more expensive FAs like Clemons and Red Bryant.  Beadles was probably not a great move, but at least he's on the field every offensive play and not on IR or the bench.

 

So, I wouldn't mind seeing DC pop for a big splash signing, as long as it's the right player, a core player.  The 10+ sacks a year guy, or the 5-year fixture on the OL, or the playmaking FS, or the TE who creates mismatches in the secondary.  If one of these is there and the character fit is good, pay the money and make the team better.  I also want Dave to keep looking at the fringe FAs like Marks, guys who maybe were a bad fit for their old team, not used correctly, or just didn't get a lot of playing time for whatever reason.  Those guys looking for a second chance and who will sign a 1-year contract to prove themselves worthy of a longer deal.  Or just a lower-tier guy who can provide stability and depth - good teams need quality role players.  Or like Del Rio and Coughlin used to do, bring in a Special Teams ace or two who can also back up at LB or WR or SS.
