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.
Landry's 4.8% pass rush win rate comes in at 68 of 68 edge rushers that qualified. [Reply]

Winchester seems like a good guy. You'd never even know he's on the team which is probably a good thing because if you did notice him it would mean he fucked up. [Reply]

Bummer.
I may have engaged at those numbers anyway. If he'd have sat there for another day and been around 42 with incentives brining to it $48 it's a no-brainer.
But really, I'm surprised it took that long at those figures. [Reply]

It’s one job. But I’ll Bet it’s much harder than it looks with alot of pressure obviously. Only 32 guys in the world get to do it at the highest level. [Reply]

Hope not.
They keep putting capital at redundant safeties. To do so an then bury one of them would just be silly.
If we're going to sign a FA safety, at least target Holland with the idea that he brings you something you don't already have. [Reply]
