Signing a 30 year old punter (damn good one BTW) does not mean win-now either. Feagles retired at age 44.
Bowe is 28, and this is only his second contract. You don't think he has 5-8 more good years?
Other than trading draft picks to acquire Smith, nothing has been win-now, mortgage the future type moves. And if the FO doesn't like the QBs at the top of the draft, than Smith was the best QB available, so I find it hard to complain too much.

You are missing the point entirely, besides the fact that with the new CBA, no team is going to mortgage their future on any position other than a QB.
