Please show me the post where I said I wanted a bunch of big names in FA.

Just because I expect better than bottom of the barrel signings doesn’t mean that I want us to do 2017 all over again. There’s a happy medium and we’re not doing it. $30M in cap is plenty to sign a couple of decent player's and draft the rest. The Jaguars, however, overpayed for an average linebacker, injury prone tight end, and a couple of guys off the street.

I don’t understand what you guys aren’t getting here.

So again, which guys were you looking to acquire with that $30 (per OTC it's 20, btw) million? Just because you've never heard of them doesn't mean it's not a sensible signing. Other than Schobert and maybe Eifert (I haven't seen the specs on his deal yet), absolutely none of the guys we have signed will hurt our cap significantly if we move on from them at any point.

Spending in FA rarely pans out, especially on long-term deals. if your goal was to pay a little more for slightly better, yet still average at best talent, in two years you'll be griping about how we overpaid for a guy that stank out loud on the field.

Dennard's deal aligns perfectly with what you are aiming for, but I note you didn't bother to include him in your criticism - does that mean you approve of that signing?
