This is somewhere between a 3-13 team and a 10-6 team 2 years ago. you can say they overachieved in 2012, but they clearly underachieved in 2013. The biggest thing to me, and we may never know this, is I want this to be a decision made with "football sound principles" whatever the heck they are.
I don't want an egotistical coach, or pure penny pinching GM, or a starstruck owner making this call. I would like the FO to look at it, rate the strengths he brings, compared to the weaknesses we have. Then look at the cap planning for the next 3 years, and the flexibility to make a solid move if it's there. Then see if the coach feels this player fits in the locker room environment, does he want him.
And if all that is done and we sign him awesome. If any of those throw up a red flag, and we don't, then I hope he goes out of division!
Of course, even if it all is done appropriately, someone will blame Snyder's interference for the signing, or BA's penny pinching for the lack of signing, cuz that's how we roll!
