All the mid season signings were strange. We don't know what happens behind the scenes though. Uche and Nelson were likely only to be used for depth. But we struggled at the CB position after Watson's injury and the pass rush wasn't getting home either. Neither player got many snaps to fill those voids.

Hopkins and Humphries were signed with the intent to be full time starters but it never panned out that way. They brought Humphries along too late and played him too soon. Hopkins contributed immediately but was phased out of the offense over time and looked old and slow (which he is) as the season went on.
