Only a 1 year deal, but it's still good news.

Good news, IMO. But watch the Polian...err, Grigson...err, whatever our GM's name is, haters come out with a loud, "The loser hasn't signed ANYONE to make the team better".

You know, other than:
Michael Pittman, Jr. (who is a beast)
Grover Stewart (starter)
Kenny Moore (starter)
Zaire Franklin (starter)
Lewis (mid)
Sanchez (well, he's just a punter)
and now Blackmon (starter)

Had Ballard gone out and gotten five starters from other teams, plus a rotational piece on the D-Line, he would have been hailed as a hero, in spite of the fact that new players take time to fit into the locker room and/or may not fit the system being run. Bringing back nearly all of the team's FA is a baller move, IMO, and he will likely hear nothing but grief.

And those who are out for his head because he did not go get the flashy name forget that the teams who did sign those guys also lost a lot of their own players, such as Derrick Henry.

We'll need him. Add Stephon Diggs to the division.

My hope is that he is the cancer that destroys that team from within.
