I mean, look at the offensive line ......... it is bad joke. And a threat to the health of Haskins.

What exactly are you looking for? You're "not saying" that they had to spend like crazy up to the cap, yet you apparently wanted them to outbid Dallas and Cleveland for Cooper and Hooper... I like the receivers currently on the roster, and the draft is DEEP in that position, so I'm glad Cooper resigned with the Cowboys. Hooper? Well, he was probably the best TE available, which is why Cleveland overpaid for him. That is what you had to do to land him - supply & demand... I'm glad they passed.

I actually think they improved the secondary bringing in Fuller and Davis, and letting Norman, Dunbar and Nicholson hit the road. There's a lot of young talent there, and I'm sure they aren't done adding to it.

The O-line is basically what it was last year...I mean no one knew what they were going to get with Flowers at LG going into last season. He did alright, but I imagine he's replaceable with Martin, plus they added some depth...so Schweitzer missed a blitz last year? I guess he's the only O-lineman that did that huh?

I think the team can be competitive as is - with the new regime...IF Haskins (or the QB position in general) takes a step forward.

Carrying cap space forward is a good thing. There's a lot of
"potentially" core players whose contracts are up in the next couple years - Allen, Foster, Moreau, Guice, etc. Having money to retain your own is a big thing moving forward. The new regime just needs time to really evaluate what they have and who fits in their systems.

Yeah, so far I'm fine with pretty much everything that has been done - or not done...
