Room for disappointment in FA?

If we suffer even minor injuries we go down hard like we did last season after going 6-2. People get so caught up in the celebration frenzy that they don't see the macro problems we'll face down the road because the fact is our depth is still terrible.

Haynesworth's contract could have yielded at least 3 or 4 above average players at needed positions. Depth was a major liability for us last year. Signing multiple players at our needed positions in addition to the draft would have improved that liability going into the approaching season.

I don't think there's a fan who is completely head over heels about the Haynesworth signing. The price paid for him is really high and the team took a huge risk. But that's water over the bridge right now, and the team needs to work with what they have. I think the FO has not completely addressed the offensive line and I do hope that's their focus in the draft.
