Yeah I think our college scouting has been excellent but our pro scouting has been bad to say the least. Our best free agents have been guys like David Irving and Cooper who I'm sure most of that was based off their college scouting. Which I think our team instead views it as the "dangers" of signing guys who other teams don't want. The classic Spags argument which is bullshit. We just don't do our jobs when it comes to finding useful free agents.Mosher with a brutal take down of our free agent efforts

That is definitely true. If you only pick through the scraps no one else wanted you can't have high expectations.We’re always searching the clearance rack. Don’t blame the guy buying groceries if you’re handing him a twenty and telling him to not spend it all in one place.
They can still work something out after that. Although I'm sure there is a lot of posturing going on right now. That's just normal in negotiations.
