How dare they pass on signing an injury-prone 30 year old OT to a nearly $50 mil deal who is only above average at his position?
Or how dare they pass on a "run stuffing" 5-tech who offers no pass rushing ability for $25 mil?
How dare they pass on a special teams pipsqueak who isn't very fast for his size and offers little in the passing game when a draft that's remarkably deep at WR is coming up?
How could they think of passing on signing an OG who was a career journeyman and an average starter at best for premium dollars?
Yeahhhhhhh, about that.
