Some stupid moves already

As Packers fans we haven't much to look forward to during the opening week of free agency (or much thereafter) so let's talk about those foolish teams' moves!

Dolphins get
cb Byron Maxwell
lb Kiko Alonso
Eagles 13th overall

Eagles get
Dolphins 8th overall

What the hell were the Dolphins smoking?? Getting two never-been players and moving down five spots in the 1st???

Texans sign starter of about 7 games, qb Brock Osweiler to a four year SEVENTY-TWO million contract, say what??? 4 years. $72 million? Stupid, just plain freaking stupid!!

Giants are trying to be the 2011 eagles dream team with their moves
cb Janoris Jenkins - 5 year $62.5 million
dt Damon Harrison - 5 year $46 million
de Olivier Vernon - 5 year $85 million

Be happy you are a GREEN BAY PACKERS fan because these deals will go down as blunders are that of teams in desperation mode.

Yes... as much as I sometimes shake my fist in frustration with Ted's complete inactivity in Free Agency, it would be much worst being a franchise that is going to bury itself with overspending on above average players.

Huge cap bump brings even crazier spending.

If Randall had performed as I had expected rather than how he did, the Jenkins deal probably wouldn't be that bad either. Not both, but one of those two I wouldn't bitch about.

The rest, though, I agree are pretty much crazy. So is the Malik Jackson deal and the most recent deal/re-do for Joe Flacco.

Anyhow, Malik Jackson is another that I could have added, but I'm really not sure about him as I don't recall seeing him play.
