Would Dunta Robinson & Darren Sproles be 'business as usual'?

This just had Danny's little paw prints all over it.

So is it your contention that no big name FA's should be considered, or else DS has his hands in it? That a good FO would purposely ignore the highest rated FA's because 10 year ago a young hyper owner made bad decisions? That in an uncapped year, where many needs can be filled without forcing other areas to be left untouched, a responsible FO with a large checkbook should withdraw its name from contention for players who are definite, or at least probable, upgrades to the overall team.

Signing one, two or even many of these names would not mean that the OL was not being addressed as it has in the salary cap era. Indeed, you can make a case that by filling these needs with upgraded FA talent, you open the draft to filling more of the most needed areas (OL/QB) with top young talent.

Of course we may not sign anyone, wouldn't that be a hoot.
