My biggest thing is this with this team so far this offseason - Have we made moves that make us demonstarbly better than we were last year - and looking at our moves SO FAR and who we have lost - the only answer I can give is NO! The addition of Blake is completely negated by the fact that we have zero expericne at WR - has that position been addressed yet? No, in fact it doesn't even seem to be on the radar screen for us. Next, our other big signing was Dexter Jackson - a good signing mind you, but equally as worthless because our d-line is till the same pathetic (albeit hardworking, but pathetic) front that they were last year. Without a d-line, you could Aeneas and Deion in their primes back there and it wouldn't matter. As far as Smith, here is an aging former superstar who is only going to take time away from one of our only promising young playmakers. How many RBs have you seen that needed mentoring? Most RBs explode at some point and I am very scared that Shipp's growth is going to be stunted.
Now free agency isn't over and the draft is ahead, but looking at our histoyr in the draft, nothing assures me that we are going to get someone who will make an impact right away, even at 6 and if we are waiting for June 1st cuts to go after receivers, what happens if those guys (Robinson - huge ealth concerns and Muhammad (huge health concerns) aren't even cut? This team still has a ways to go and so far with all the money we had and have, this entire free agency class still lacks the BIG IMPACT players this team sorely needs at key positions. But we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.
