Thing is, for me it's not so much signing "big huge name guy" as it is signing average or better players to shore up weaknesses. Or add viable depth and make guys legitimately compete. My frustration with Ballard's use of free agency has largely been how he gifts positions to young guys by having no viable alternative. And how his solution to a weakness is only very low end journeyman or rookie. There is a big class of vets I don't believe he values.

That’s a little different. Because he has thrown his hat in on big names before but got outbid. And those players were eventually released by those teams. But yeah he likes to clear the lane for young guys to fill a position. I agree he needs more redundancy at holes I think.
But you think he has done fairly well with signing FAs he has found some good guys in there. But it’s all moot if he doesn’t eventually find a QB. We aren’t going anywhere if we don’t. See who we get this off-season.
