I agree it “doesn’t matter” because we still have tons of cap. But that money could have been spent on an actual good player rather than a slow, unproven WR that drops the ball a lot. If the whole point was not spending A money on B players, which is what we keep hearing is Ballard’s plan, then what the hell is this?

My two cents here is:

Different team
Different offense
Different QB
Different expectations

COULD lead to different results.

I did not say WILL lead to different results. I said could.

The same scouting staff that found Nelson and Leonard, and Smith and Mack and Hines (and Cain) identified Funchess as a free agent to sign. Let that sink in for a moment.

Of course, they also drafted Fountain so perhaps they suck at evaluating WRs...but I would let it play out on the field prior to deciding that you already know the outcome with certaintly, Nostradamus.

Walk Worthy,
