Quote:Dave said himself that he 'regretted not having made better use of f/a sooner'. Of course, this doesn't negate what you said. I too hope that the f/a's brought in here will be a good fit and not just 'names' that might be more trouble than they are worth. We'll see.

 

This is a quote from the article I posted earlier in the thread:

 

Quote:The biggest spenders in free agency usually don't succeed. Last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent more than $143 million on unrestricted free-agent contracts and ended up at the top of the draft after a 2-14 season.

 

 

The Jags FO needs to learn from the Bucaneers, and make solid value-based additions but not splashy use of the FA market just to make the ESPN front-page. In my mind Suh might fall into this category, the FO needs to be absolutely sure that this guy won't be a negative to the locker room--particularly when the Jaguars are completing the rebuild--before making him the highest paid defensive player in the NFL.  Look at Albert Haynesworth FA to see what could become the worst possible outcome, if due diligence isn't performed.
