From the contracts I've seen, I wouldn't have gone there either.
Undrafted free agents and roster cut downs? Seriously? If you're lucky, you stumble onto a Quan Bray every once in awhile.

The shit pile OL was a glaring problem that Ballard was aware of from day one and so far his moves have been Zach Banner in the 4th (cut) and Brian Schwenke in FA (cut).
It's a colossal mystery. You've got one of the top Quarterbacks in the league, a guy who's been physically beaten down since day one in Indy, and your moves to fortify the Offensive Line pale by comparison to Ryan freaking Grigson?

I trust in Ballard, so much more than I trusted in Grigson.
I disagree that Indy's not attractive. How do you define attractive: SB potential? Great QB?, Good coach? It's all about $$. Otherwise Amendola wouldn't have jumped to Miami. And with potential to play with Luck, ought to be enough change that mindset. I trust in Ballard too, maybe he just has different plans.

Norwell was a UDFA.

I know we're all passionate, but you clearly understand from the bold that it's irrational to judge the offseason at this point. Why not just relax and wait for the full returns, particularly on something over which you have zero control?

Sucks missing out on Norwell, but it happens. The big thing that I don't understand is why they bothered to tender Vujnovich.

There's a long way to go in free agency and plenty of talent still available. Many of you are displaying a complete lack of confidence in the team's pro and college scouting. If that's the case, why aren't you calling for Ballard to be fired? Either you're going to trust him to put together the best roster for this team to be competitive or you aren't. So either wait it out or start calling for his head.

I think it’s deeper than football.

Miami weather is > Indianapolis. There is more shit to do in Florida. There’s also no state income tax in Florida.

Yes, yes he was. If you figure that there were about 500 undrafted free agents in his class, that leaves the odds of finding another all pro OL'man by going that route as 500 to 1.

Should we all just wait for everything to just happen and not discuss anything? Why bitch in-game about anything that goes wrong, we don't know the outcome yet.

Weston Richburg is off the market and making about $9M/year from the 49ers. We can probably anticipate that for Jensen, if we sign him.
