Was just about to post the same.
Like I said, they didn't really push for signing a veteran DT. I mean, Suh can't be the only one they like on the market right? They sure didn't pursue one right after Buckner was traded nor did they try after Suh was signed 3 days ago.
Doesn't look like they've really been trying to sign much of anyone. I didn't expect them to be very active on the market anyways but I atleast hoped for a couple high end rotational pieces which is what Shelby was. A high end rotational piece/solid starter.
Most of the pieces they've signed have been connected to the coaching staff including Suh. They likely were hoping that due to a connection factor and his age that they could get him on a cheap deal. The fact that they were interested in Suh at the very least shows that they believe more is needed on the interior of the dline.
Their plan is clear. They cleared cap space to save for upcoming extensions and are going all in on the draft this year. Kyle and Lynch are absolutely right. You only either get better or worse. All we can analyze is what has happened thus far and we are worse so far. For the most part I agree with their off-season plan, however seeing some guys like Harris, Vince Curry, Cameron Wake that could ease some of our biggest off-season net loss (Buckner) and add to the rotation of our dline sitting there to be signed for practically nothing and we're just signing low caliber depth players that will likely be cut.
Again, I'm not asking for the team to blow it's wad but adding some high quality depth to our dline that just lost Buck and adding some competition to a injury returning Blair would be smart imo.
