Anthony, wow, you are a really negative poster. Is there nothing remotely exciting about the Allen addition possibility? You know the team is likely not as bad as you have concluded they have become, as some of the depth may just be ready to shine.
We've heard the constant kvetch about the OLine. Answer this, who should they sign that's out there? Who's out there worth paying big bucks to acquire? Are they proven and demonstrably talented like Allen? BTW the cap until recently was very overweighted for the O.
If there isn't a guy that is out there then your answer for the OLine is the draft or the re-cycling of castoffs to find a diamond in the rough, or a trade. Is there a trade you advocate? It is only the 2nd week of FA and any potentially top tier OLinemen have been well paid or likely even overpaid already. Is it Breno you grieve over with his consistent drive stalling penalty taking predisposition, or McQuistan? Would you have paid Breno the $ the Jets paid, & will the team actually be worse without him? Was McQuistan worth his deal last year is it worth paying a 31 yr old marginal talent for him to return?
The potential addition of the threat that is Allen is exciting. Apparently you disagree and think the the FO doesn't get the need for a RT or better OG talent & depth at OT? Really? Or is it the need for a WR? You do know this draft is the deepest in talent in 10 years @ WR don't you? JMO but frankly the talent we have here now is quite underrated or appreciated. Regardless, do you not think the reason why Tate wasn't as big a FA priority was tactical and a draft target or two haven't been identified? We will likely get a conditional pick back for him.
Hey, lest it appear this is an attack, it isn't, but your negativity which I suppose is a reasonable position based on the present + & - of FAs seems awfully premature in the 2nd week of FA and prior to the draft.
Let the picture develop and see what the team looks like after the draft. Maybe you'll be surprised they did take a 4-12 team to winning the Super Bowl in 4 seasons. Keeping the core together will be much harder. Changes will be consistent with this FO.
