We definitely did sign a lot of old players last year that had no chance of sticking around for the long term. I think last year Shanny had the mentality that it would take multiple years to rebuild this team in his image and this year would be the year to get most of the bulk of that done, since this year's free agent class was expected to be the youngest and deepest in several years due to how the NFL was set up after the owners opted out of the CBA. Last year was about signing players just to make it through the year. No way guys like Galloway, Holliday, etc. were expected to be here long term. Shanny just didn't want to go into the season with a roster that had very few of his own guys in it. When Vinny/Zorn left they really did leave this team in shambles.
