For everyone clamoring to sign the big name free agents remember

2019 NFL marquee free agent signings = 2021 NFL veteran cuts

Keep this in mind as your disappointment in Ballard's lack of big name signings mount.

Former Patriots’ OT Trent Brown intends to sign a four-year, $66 million contract that includes $36.75 million guaranteed with the Oakland Raiders, per source, making him highest paid OL in NFL history.

As I said in another thread, I don’t necessarily want big free agent signings, but I want to see an adequate attempt to address team needs. Kicking the can down the road or avoiding vets specifically to “save” snaps for young guys will piss me off. If Ballard does with SS what he did last year at WR I’ll be pissed. If he banks on Cain and a rookie to solve the hole at WR2 this year I’ll be pissed. If he doesn’t attempt to address pass rush from multiple fronts (draft and free agency) I’ll be pissed. I don’t want Brown or Bell. And I don’t need Collins. But to me there will be no excuse for failing to address the major holes on the roster.

Here we are being linked to CJ Mosley:

but so are a number of teams. But that's a signing I could get behind, perfect LB for this defense. Good zone defender, can read plays, and has been a tackling machine. Mosley and Leonard together would be killer.

That Gruden Mayock braintrust sure is something. I wouldn't call it good. But something.

There are an inordinate amount of 25 year old multiple Pro Bowlers in this free agent class, though.
