Homerun trades: Vernon and ODB
So free agents with high value, Hunt and Richardon
Depth free agents not on team Kush, ;Lamm, Harris, Thomas, Strong
Retained free agents, Gaines, Ray-Ray, Robinson, Davis.
So we only retained one starter from free agency in Robinson and a prove it deal. We kept 3 more on team friendly depth deals, and signed 5 players for depth, only possibly Lamm will start and Harris should see some time as a blocking tight end, others are depth.
Signed 2 sort of starters, obviously Richardson starts day 1, but Hunt is as good of a starter as he should play 50%+ of the snaps as I am sure we will do many 2 rb sets with him and Chub
Then we added 2 high end pro bowl level players via trade.
You look at what he has done, only made 1 big free agent acquisition, used trades to add pro bowl talent, and really only used free agency to add depth outside of Richardson and that is the exact blue print on how to build a team without going into cap hell (dan Snyder should read from this book)
Very impressive what Dorsey has done, like to see if we can find 2 or 3 quality players that can contribute from day one in our much smaller draft this year. Well done so far though.
