I agree that it seems like we should spend some of the money we have to get a WR or a some help on defense (perhaps a TE now that Jack is IRd).
The things we need to be careful of is again, value, not just dollars but value within our system and within our culture.
The Patriots have this bullshit cult of personality around BB and TB, despite everyone hating it outside of New England, it works. They cultivate it with personnel that are content with scraps of approval from BB's table and the chance to win another championship.
Andre Johnson wanted to win a championship, almost as bad as Grigson wanted to prove he was the smartest guy in the room.
So we signed Johnson and paid him 7.5 million for 42 catches and 4 TDs.
Ebron is a guy that wants to have an opportunity to start and get a fresh start someonwhere other than the toxic environment that Detroit became for him.
We sign Ebron and paid him 6.5 million for 44 catches and 11 TDs.
