Talk about how you think this off season is going for your team or any team

I think, so far, jaguars and dolphins are the winners of free agency, followed closely by NY giants

I'm mostly a sf fan and have been totally disappointed in the teams direction again , for a 2nd straight season. We have resigned some depth but have made zero moves to actually improve the team

Giants obviously overpaid for good not great players, but that's gonna happen in the open market for young guys just entering their primes. I like that they were aggressive filling some huge needs on defense.
Vernon - A much needed pass rusher who's just 25 years old. Hopefully JPP can bounce back and have a strong DE duo. Jenkins - A better pass rush means forcing rushed throws so you wanna have a playmaker like Jenkins back there in the secondary. I remember when he had 4 defensive touchdowns as a rookie. Harrison - giants run defense has been ass too, and Snacks Harrison is an elite run defender.
Still have some work to do on defense. Would like another pass rusher and a reliable deep FS. It's nice to see the Giants finally showing some balls in FA after doing nothing but signing 2nd and 3rd tier free agents for years.

It's nice to see the Giants finally showing some balls in FA after doing nothing but signing 2nd and 3rd tier free agents for years. I agree they overpaid. But ultimately, every competitive team overpays players its just a matter of how much and over how many people. I think all 3 of the giants signings are catalytic players though. Snacks will provide up front pass rush and greatly help with inside runs, Vernon will be a keystone piece that pressures qbs for 5+years (and will work with JPP or whomever the giants draft), and jenkins was a much needed signing to solidify the giants secondary, especially after losing amukamara to the jaguars. the point being that all 3 of these players are impact players, and they ALSO compliment each other which is the proper way to add talent. As the dolphins have witnessed first hand, even if you bring in a impact player (suh), it will not change the destination of the team if the player doesn't have help/synchronize with the other talents on that side of the ball.

I liked the Vikings signing of Alex Boone. He should help solidify the offensive line, and he wasn't outrageously overpaid. I'm also intrigued by the LB (Lamur) they signed from Cincy. He might end up starting with Barr and Kendricks.
They still need help at WR, but there isn't anyone worth targeting.

Curious why you think the Dolphins have done well? They lost Vernon, which for that money was smart to let NY have him, but it still hurts to have him leave. They lost Lamar Miller, whom they never utilized like they should have, although I do like the CJ Anderson offer sheet. But they got 2 oft-injured players in Alonso and Maxwell, and dropped 5 spots in the draft to do it. IF, and that's a big IF, Alonso stays healthy he will be nice for them. But I have zero faith in Alonso staying on the field. I think the best move they made was moving on from Brent Grimes, so his crazy bitch wife will have to go run off at the mouth somewhere else. LOL
I'm not a Fins fan, but I quietly hope they can get back to being a force in the NFL some day. But I don't see much this off-season that they've done to improve. Not saying you're wrong at all, just my own observations.
