I'd be shocked if they don't, and that makes this a good thing. I hope they want Najee to be a starter and workhorse. That's would really lower their ceiling. [Reply]
Broncos are going to be tough next year unfortunately. Nix isn’t elite but he’s got a very good OL and Defense. I’d bet they add Egbuka/Loveland and one of the top RB’s in the draft [Reply]

"Bears are gonna be good". "Denver are gonna be tough"!!.. :-) [Reply]
Davis is a legit starting CB on any team and a #1 on many. He and Adebo, who was quickly snapped up by the Giants, were easily the top outside CBs on the market.
Landry is a consistent pass rusher who is firmly a top 45 guy at that, and they paid less than we paid Nick Bolton
Spillane has been top 10 in the league in tackles for two consecutive seasons.
I fail to see how any of these are "awful."
Yeah Vrabel is a great defensive coach. They overpaid but those are good players. [Reply]

Spillane is the epitome of Jag.
Look at the metrics? He had 9 sacks, 15 QB hits and 15 TFL last season to go with his 71 tackles. Those metrics? Or PFF's "grade."
He's an above-average 3-4 Rush LB. He's making less than 24 ER and LBs, which puts him towards the bottom of the heap of "#1" players at a similar position, which is exactly what he is as a player.
That's a solid value signing IMO and far and away not "awful."
Say what you will about Spillane but he was #3 in the league last year in tackles. That doesn't happen by being JAG. He's gotten better every single year he's been in the league. Definitely not awful.
Davis will play opposite Christian Gonzalez at CB. That secondary is now pretty damned good.
They also added Milton Williams to put up front with Keion White and Christian Barmore. That DL is LEGIT.
That entire defense for Vrabel just got a lot better.
They also added Morgan Moses at RT. They could stand to get better at LT, WR, and RB. That's not a tall order picking at #4.
New England got a lot better today. A lot. [Reply]
