So again, you keep going around in the circles with the same broadside stroke, I give you a great example, then you go back. We get it, brah!! It's a new regime and everything is roses and pink lemonade. Even though the people growing the lemons are the same.

I haven’t gone back on anything. My point was no one cares what a random Bears fan says. Durrrrrrr

This is the big picture. It’s not like there was a sea of possibilities this free agency as well. They addressed the trenches pretty well all things considered imo
I really liked the first 4 moves (overall grade of A-), but Jarrett is such a meatball addition. He has already been on decline and is likely to get progressively worse over the next couple seasons. Jarrett standalone Grade: F.

Poles gonna Poles, such a dumbass signing by the 14-36 GM.

It's a bad year for LT, both in FA and in the draft.

The good news is we actually have a good coach now, so whomever the LT is, is likely going to get help because with the vets, you are going to count on them at the other positions to handle their business on their own.

Plus, for as lost as Kiran looked last year, he was as physical as prime Tevin Jenkins when he actually did get his hands on someone.

Expect him to compete with Jones for that LT spot. If it turns out Kiran can play, and the coaching was just shit, Kiran has better technique and holds up against a bullrush much better than Jones does.

The majority of Kiran's issues last year came from him not knowing his assignment.

He’s got a great swim move haha

He’s not gonna be a huge sack guy but he’ll collapse the pocket for sure.

First thing I thought as well. That's the most exaggerated swim move I think I've ever seen, but he gets it done. :ROFLMAO:

Garrett won't have to be "the man" like he did in ATL. There is more talent surrounding him here.

It's so stupid the way the NFL does this. (tampering period) Poles and Johnson should be able to hold a press conference this afternoon to discuss the signings. But instead we have to wait before they can make things "official".

I guess I disagree. Grady is a “do the dirty work” kinda guy. He’s not flashy but he’s a great rotational type piece. Lest we forget how thin at DT we were last year.

Jarrett’s part of the rotation. He might not even start… Not much to complain about there. How quick he moved on him I’m guessing Allen liked him a lot.

Our front-7 on D is mid at best, and clearly subpar for a playoff-level team so I disagree with the notion that Grady will be surrounded by much talent.

Regardless, I think it's a mistake to allocate that much of our remaining cap to a relatively old guy that is far more likely to decline in production over the course of the next 3 years. An idiot signing IMO.
