Can be pretty good if healthy, can be pretty awful if not. Was mostly column two last year, hence being a FA that none of the Dolph-bros give a poo poo about.

He was a backup on the worst LB unit in the NFL last year so

I think Jenkins might be breaking down physically. He looked really promising his second year in the league and hasn't been the same since- to the point where he's worse than he was as a rookie.

Zach Brown was supposed to be a big money FA this year, but I think he might have overplayed his hand.

He's basically only had one outstanding year, but the Dolphins new LB coach has experience with him and I think you've got money to piss away and a defense where you can effectively give three guys good workloads.

Well, I guess that would be better than him signing with the Patriots.
Dude was great last year as an ILB in Rex's defense. Fast, rangy linebacker who can cover decently.
Kind of surprised it's taken this long for him to surface. Especially given that our linebacking corp currently consists of Preston Brown and Reggie Ragland coming off a torn ACL.

Zach Brown is a good-to-great starter. The Bills probably don't have the cap space to sign him, especially since they just drafted Reggie Ragland.

They had like $60 million and they've built a defense at Family Dollar.

I'd much rather Ballard take his time and truly build a contender rather than a splashy signing or two.

He's a one year wonder in an off-season where it looks like NFL owners sort-kinda colluded in order to force "riskier" free agents to take one year deals. I think a couple guys misplayed their hand like Brown and Johnathan Hankins.

These are basically all guys who are temporary and will be gone in 2-3 years and wouldn't start on a good team. It's the right move but it sucks to realize this team is so loving bad that it is literally starting at the start of a rebuild with a quarterback, a wide receiver, and a few okay-ish pieces...that's after five years of "building the monster."

They might be well-advised to tank this year and get some real impact players in the draft next year.

Polian very very rarely signed free agents. Grigson came in with a depleted roster and signed a bunch of people, similar to what Ballard is doing, but Ballard has yet to guarantee a single dollar past this season on any of the deals and is going for guys in their mid 20's, whereas Grigson was bringing in older dudes and giving them overvalued contracts. Let us not forget signings like Landry.

Lmao funny story. I was working at a Downtown Indy hotel and I checked in this flight attendant who started talking to me about the Colts. I chatted her up and proceeded to talk a massive amount of poo poo about LaRon Landry. She laughed, agreed with all my poo poo-talking, and then proceeded to tell me she was friends with him. I drat near peed my pants because I envisioned LaRon Landry coming into the lobby of my hotel and crushing my skull between his biceps for all to see.

I'm still alive and don't have any skull injuries so I guess she never told him!

Except for that first year or so, when he signed a bunch of fossilized Panthers and Bills to be on the defense. That worked...for like a year, then the wheels came off.
