There's a time to sign certain types of players - this is truly a smart signing as it moves us closer to acquiring another franchise player. Which moves us closer to a Championship. One step at a time here. When we have a playoff team then we could expect high quality players signing here.
Besides it's the young teams built of drafts that are coming together that attract players to sign with teams.
