Brandin Cooks to the Pats for the Pat's 1st round pick. Fucking Pats.

I don't hate the signings, but I am always a bit hesitant of roleplayers who looked good on teams with great players or coaching to make them look better. Those guys seem to end up being mediocre far more often than good.

Yes.

Even if they are, who are they blocking? Mediocre is better than awful. Awful was just about all that was on the roster.

Sorry if it's already been posted, but saw somewhere that Colts signed Sheard, Simon & Mingo for basically $2-3M more than what Packers gave to just Nick Perry.

In a defense that basically just needs bodies at every position -- and specifically, a LB corps that needs entirely remade -- that's really not bad GM'ing.

Also saw cap hits are frontloaded, so presumably if the Colts can/do improve from these guys by 2018 or 2019, it's nothing to cut weight.

(That said, I think Simon has some real potential based on who I listed to/read. And I don't know much about Sheard, but at least you know unlike LBs native to this roster, he has actually been coached.)

Hell, mediocre woulda won the AFC South last year.

Fricking Cooks to the Cheats.

The rich keep getting richer.

They gave up a lot for Cooks, probably worth it.

It's baffling how few GMs seem to understand the value of trades. If you have a #good team, known quality (players you trade for) are far more often better than draft picks (unknown quality).

I don't blame the Colts, for instance, for acquiring draft capital, because they need to create a roster / culture / youth movement. So it makes sense for them.

But why the hell the Chiefs, for instance, aren't all over the trade market is beyond me.

Your opinion of a players ability means nothing to me
