It's more than fine to have some signings of guys around the age; it doesn't have to be nearly all of them a la Gibbs II but veterans of that age bring experience, leadership, and other qualities that you would desire. There is no magical pool of top tier 26 year old UFA's. If a guy is a UFA in his mid 20s either he 1) sucks or 2) the team can't afford to pay him and he's not staying without top dollar. I'll take the 30 year old please.
