Last time I checked it was only March 3rd.
Point taken. March 3rd is my mother's birthday whom just turned 52 today. I'm 18 and you're 45 so I'll accept and allow you talking down to me and insulting my intelligence without any rebuttle.
However, regarding football I honestly cannot remember the last time there have been so many signings and BIG NAME signings for that matter in such a short amount of time. Just my opinion. Definitely players that would have contributed to our team.
You are however correct about it's still very early in the offseason. March 11th, I believe is the date for the signing period of UFA's begins according to NFL.com. Or as you had stated, today is only my mother's birthday.
Now I am not saying that we should've or shouldn't have gotten any of these guys but just among some of the names that I had been acquired thus far in such a short time include: Nate Clements, Adalius Thomas, Kris Dielman, Michael Lewis, Drew Bennett, Jeff Garcia, London Fletcher-Baker, Fred Smoot, Ovie Mughelli, Derrick Dockery, and Eric Steinbach just to name a few.
We may lose Wes Welker to the Patriots who has been our most CONSISTENT Wide Receiver and most productive for the most of last season.
Other players we lost regardless of the reason are: Kevin Carter, Damion McIntosh, Sammy Morris, Jeno James, Dan Wilkinson, Seth McKinney, and Bennie Anderson. All of which I agree with by the except for Kevin Carter and not re-signing Wes.
Honestly, I wasn't looking for any confrontation or to act disrespectful towards you. My opinion is that while I do not think we should be signing and/or picking up every player that is released by a team but I do feel that we have to start getting the wheels in motion and making moves (before the draft). Also, that I was disappointed to see Kevin Carter and was hoping we'd restructure his contact and keep him along with re-signing Wes rather than letting him test the market. I wouldn't have mind as much losing Wes in Free Agency if were not for an AFC East rival... especially the Patriots.
Anyway, that's all I have to say. Thanks for taking the time to read, no hard feelings.
