Hopefully it means they'll be aggressive in younger free agents, rather than spending or overspending for the Dwight freeneys of the world. They're going to want guys that can have an impact immediately and in the future not just be one year and done.
That was the reasoning we used in free agency last year. So, yeah, that's what Monti will try to do. Let's hope it works out better this time.

Only morons build teams in FA. Of all the options it's the least value and the highest chance of striking out.

FA is for building your depth and breadth of the roster, along with later round draft picks. If you want to add stars you try draft them and you trade for them.

He may well be many things, but he's not wrong on this and it's literally how every team thinks.
Agree and Bidwill did say that Cards will be active in free agency but he and Monti both feel the draft is the best way to build the team.

How many FAs did we acquire last year?

Of those, how many produced value equivalent to their contract?

I’m too lazy to do the research but I’m sure management does which might explain their thoughts on the upcoming free agency period.

I’d rather focus on trades…

Well Philly signed three all pros in free agency last season so sometimes it works out I guess.

If the Monti is going to pack up his bags on one of the major paths to improving your team, he should just resign.

Building throughFA and not getting any tools are two very different things.

MO hasn’t lit the world on fire in either aspect of building this team. Draft and especially FA.

He has made some good promo videos about his deal making in not drafting a possible All Pro defensive edge.

Why are you thinking that there is some all or none choice here when no one said it?

Philly is actually a well run franchise that knows how to win.

We just have fans and media willing to accept mediocrity and the occasional playoff appearance and stick up for the worst owner in professional sports.

Imagine the owner of the biggest sports franchise in the city and the media don’t ask a single question about another lawsuit involving him and how he has a bad reputation in running said team.

Even in this thread you got Brit talking about how the Cards know how to build a team. It’s embarrassing.
