I was all for spending $$$ on a top rated "boundary" CB last year, instead we got a "slot" CB with a history of missing alot of games, and we overpaid to boot. What an embarrassing black eye for the team it is to cut a player after 1 year because he is terrible. Everyone but Gutey thought it was a bad move to bring Hobbs in with his history. I can only imagen what the coaches thought when Hobbs injured Marshawn Lloyd after being told to tone it down.

Banks was another expensive misstep. Buying players on the first day of free agency is expensive anyway, but it's so much worse when you overpay and the player ends up being bad.

I just read an article about the Eagle free agency approach this year. Instead of spending picks and $35 million to sign Max Crosby, they spent $33 million on 7 players that strengthened and upgraded many areas of need. That's exactly the strategy I thought GB should use last year. They didn't, and coupled with the injuries, it set us back a year. 2026 is going to be better, because we have made smarter moves.
