I am a bit confused by many of our board members concerns about Buddy Nix's lack of free agent action. I recall him saying, succinctly, that he is not a free agency guy and that is not how he envisions building this team.
I understand that for some here raising these concerns and beating on the Nix, Gailey connections is part of their earning the daily bread, but it is a non-story.
I am not sure if Nix or Gailey are the guys or not, probably not. But.... Buddy Nix is doing exactly what he said he was going to do which, in my opinion, is a nice change from the haphazard methodology of Marv, Russ and our recent off-seasons. I imagine we will see a few depth signings, such as the Green signing, bringing in people who can play if necessary and stopgaps. Maybe an underpriced steal. The reality is that this team is going to be built by Draft and Undrafted Free agents for the next season or two. That is the real story.
