What I want to know is who the hell gave this move an F? Did Bruce just join or something?

If he did, he'd probably bow out quickly given the comments in here.

I hope Scot's first 2 FA signings are Mike Iupati and Ahmad Brooks. Iupati will fill a huge hole in the OL and Brooks can replace Orakpo.

I'd take Iupati over Brooks. Brooks is kind of washed up isn't he? He took himself out of a game cause he wasn't happy with his playing time and has had numerous off field issues. To me he's too much of a risk. Iupati is a road grader but SF really struggled in protecting Kap. He's obviously an upgrade over anything we have at guard.

Brooks lost playing time to rookie Aaron Lynch who was as good as Aldon Smith, he came into camp heavier than usual. Brooks can still play, he started losing weight abd will be motivated after year. He was pissed at Tomsula for giving Lynch more playing time. On the OL issues their RT was out most of the year (played 6 games) lost 2 C and Boone held out and came in rusty. Iupati lost some games to concussion, but was the most consistent OL.

Relevant on so many levels

Doubt he does much in FA that isn't cheap signings, this roster is way far away from spending much in FA.

Let's just hope that the fan base & management gives him a couple of years to right the ship.
It did not get into this mess in one year so it will take longer than one year to straighten out. For the record, I 100% approve of this move!

I couldn't agree more. I have been saying for awhile that this organization has been being broken for 20 years and it could take over 5 years to fix. This team is in total rebuild mode but management will never come out and say it for fear of scaring off the few remaining ticket buying fans they have.

SM doesn't need to spend money on over-priced FAs, he need to get as many draft picks as he can get so this team can start down the road of drafting and developing players like all successful NFL teams do. SM has a huge and very difficult job ahead.

I dont blame them one bit but the charade has worn thin and nobody is buying that this team is close.

Honestly, I think if they came out and said they're in rebuild mode, it would show they've got a real plan in place. I personally would not be turned off by this at all. Actually... I would welcome this type statement, and I think a lot of fans would too.

I would welcome it. It would show that people in Redskins Park have a clue. You can't fix a problem if you are not aware of it.

Instead we get "winning off the field."
