Not an impact player. This offseason boils down to Pioli knowing that a Haynesworth type of signing, although it pleases the internet GM's such as you, really doesn't translate into building a perennial contender because the team around him is so bad. So, rather than pull a Carl Peterson and bring in a few big dollar guys to sell tix, he is sticking to his plan to build a contender for the long haul.

Yea well that didn't stop us from using the 3rd pick on a role player and then trading for a shitty QB, but hey all is well.
