So far I can't name one.

I'm actually proud of parting with long time players, although I thought it was probably a year late for a couple.

I thought Strief was a resign priority. I didn't want two new starters on the line next year.

Totally didn't see the Bryd signing. Seemed out of reach. I'm so glad we did it.

Lorig came out of nowhere, but after reading about him, I think it could make us a tougher, more punishing team.

I liked resigning Humber. Good special teams player and could get more snaps in sub packages.

I really wanted to resign Morgan.

I guess the only thing I'm a bit sad about is trading away Sproles. He's the only one in terms of production to cap figure that I thought was worth it.

Nope. Everything I wanted to happen happened. Would have liked to keep Sproles but if it meant getting Byrd and we could get a 5th round pick, it's worth it.

Probably not.

But we'll have to see how we adjust to losing Sproles.

I agree on just about everything. I think Jed for Lorig is virtually a wash. Did it save us money?

Byrd was really a huge shocker. I'm fricking stoked about him joining this secondary. It's going to be really fun to watch and Vacarro may benefit as much as anyone...Robinson right there as well.

I'm upset about losing Sproles but all in all, it was probably for the best in terms of saving money for other areas with the hopes of Cadet being able to cover some of what he did.

Humber is underrated and I think next year he just may make a bigger splash than people think.

I wouldn't have minded if we cut PT, but other than that I've been more than happy by what we've done.

This pretty much sums up my feelings. I liked Sproles, but he or Thomas had to go for cap reasons...Thomas was the right pick.

I agree with this, but..

This is why I can stomach it. We got a decent pick for an older guy who probably has 1 or MAYBE 2 productive seasons left in him. I'd rather bail out a year early and get a pick than a year late and have to scramble to replace the production.

Has to be due to money because his production and need at the position is an upgrade.

You're trying to tell me Byrd is an upgrade over Jenkins? Lateral move IMO

Byrd will never be the athlete Jenkins is.

Jenkins is better than Byrd. And cheaper.

Your statement contradicts itself in the FA World of the NFL.

Sproles is on the wrong side of 30 and has lost a step and a half.

He has about 2 semi productive years left in his career. Not worth it.
