I don't think people are freaking out. But annoyed is a better word, disappointed is another.

Colts land top edge rusher left Jabaal Sheard
Colts signed DE/OLB Jabaal Sheard, formerly of the Patriots, to a three-year, $25.5 million contract with $12.75 guaranteed.
Sheard is not an especially dynamic pass rusher, but he is a solid all-around edge presence and was the top edge player left on the free agent market. Turning 28 in May, Sheard has 13 sacks and four forced fumbles over the past two seasons. He did lose his starting job in New England last year, but remained part of the rotation and finished strong. At present, Sheard and John Simon would project as the Colts' two starting 3-4 outside linebackers.

interesting list of 25 on who is still available
https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-25-best-free-agents-still-available/
I say bring in two corners at this point, as you should be able to get some bargain deals.........
bring in a situational pass rusher too, and call it a day

Wrong. They always bring in someone and its about this time that they might. The feeding frenzy and crazy money is about over. I mean paying $16 million for Garcon? He ain't worth half that. This is when we can expect to see a couple 2nd tier FA signings.

2nd tier? How does that saying go?
Believe it
when
I see it.
Now the "nobody else wants them" tier....well I see us bringing a few of them. Now that's an annual event around here.
We definitely need some players. Unless they plan on playing their first 4 or 5 draft picks.
So the team that whipped our *** and won the super bowl is adding pieces, and we sign Landry Jones, yay!
So far the Steelers are in mid-free agency form....zzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah this is what drives me ******* nuts. They dominated our defense and now they are making the moves to get better while we sit on our hands. This team is so close with just a few holes to fill and we do nothing.

2nd tier? You're far too kind. Are you saying DJ is on level two of the free agents? Super friendly of you

DJ will fight to earn a spot in the roster, of course he isn't a super signing, just a guy that know how to block better than any other TE in the roster and probably in the draft.
We do need to pick some players to help the D, a younger guy than Gay, a better backup S than Golden, a rotational DE if Mathews doesn't come back.
This pisses me off
