As I suspected we didn’t have the cap space to play with the first tier FAs. However, it appears that we haven’t done poorly with the ones we have signed. Both Gilchrist and Whitehead address a position of need, and both are better or will add depth and versatility to positions of need. Gruden is not ignoring the D and at least picked up a starter from another team day 2 of FA to address the LB spot. Unlike the past with Del Zero waiting til the 5th round to pick a starting Mike LB and Reggie letting Zack Brown walk for 3.5 mil to WAS and not resigning Perry Riley. We went into the season with Marquel Lee a rookie 5th rounder as our starter. We now at least have a 2 year starter for the Lions as insurance. He has played all 3 LB positions.
This is a good illustration of how we improved our D thus far.
