Last year Ted Thompson got it all wrong in free agency.
He watched a ton of talent leave the building, and, for the most part, failed to find adequate replacements. This could explain the proactive approach he’s taken this week, re-signing Davante Adams and Corey Linsley ahead of time.
Thompson allowed a number of important players to walk out the door last year, banking on replacing them via the draft and by signing cheaper free agents.
In some cases it worked.
Eddie Lacy struggled to stay healthy his final two years in Green Bay, and it’s got even worse for him in Seattle.
