Ballard is signing free agents he falls in love with, gets bored of them after playing with them for 1 year and then cuts them and gives excuses like "didnt fit the new system".
This is going to have even more blowback in free agency. We were quite in free agency bc no player wants to sign with a whimsical GM. Ballard didnt turn into Polian over night after a quite free agency.... he got snubbed by all the good ones we went after. Thats my opinon and im sticking to it.

eh, we are talking about matt jones here, not some real high level talent. He had something like 5 carries last year. We drafted 2 RBs and have several others on the roster, there is plenty of room for competition there. I doubt a high level FA will point to matt jones and say thats the reason why he didnt come. With FAs it mostly comes down to 2 things, #1 is money, #2 is if they are older and have made their money they may go to where they have the best chance to win.
