Please let me know who the amazing and young DT for $14 million a year is available in FA that they passed on.
Yeah, no, your question assumes facts not in evidence. No one put a gun to Poles feeble brane and forced him to sign any FA DT.

I would have signed zero DTs in FA.

The correct answer is to trade for one and draft one. And IDK which one I would trade for, but I would analyze the DTs of 31 teams and call each one to see who might be in play. Same way I assume the Commanders got Tunsil, the creative and non-lazy way. Apparently way too much to ask of Ryan Poles I guess.

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.
You admitted you thought Cade McNown was going to be a stud. That eliminates you from any further consideration on player evaluations.

Plus, you think the great white hope is going to be a stud.

Jarrett is a nice pick up. These signings just free up Pace, Cunningham, Johnson, and Allen to go BPA in the draft.

The only thing that scares me is a guy like Dayo being signed might signal a prospect like Shemar Stewart could be in play at 10.

Also, I’m just fucking with you.

Ok so instead of making $6M as argued he makes $8M... I think I expected $10M but I dont recall exactly.

Debate about Chinn is a draw I believe.
I said he'd get $6-$7 mil and you laughed at that and said no way and that he only got a 1 year $6 mil deal last year because he was injured the last 2 years and that he would get a bigger contract then Kyler Gordon would get.

I recall exactly

Well... he got $4M last year and you suggested $6M this year and I said no way he'd only get a $2M raise after so many tackles... blah blah blah..

Neither of us were right.

How many creative trades have we seen Poles pull off? Way more than the average GM - even if they didn't all work out, but that's not your point. You are just being pessimistic for the sake of being pessimistic.
