Clearly letting Ryan Clark go was a mistake for a lot of reasons. As for Walt, I don't think he counts as a mistake (there is a whole other thread on this topic). Just about everyone was ready to run him out on a rail last year and he was pretty craptacular at times. And on the other hand, how about the Coles for Moss trade? Anyone want to undo that one?
Again, the front office has had its hits and misses with the misses seeming to outnumber the hits in quantity and noticeability. I still think that we the FO (under Gibbs) has done some good things and that, while this year was clearly a step back, Gibbs did seem to learn from year one to year two. Maybe he will learn make a similar step forward next offseason.
As a final thought: Although this year's class of FA may be the worst since the Bruce Smith, et al. signings. It was still a different kind of bad in that all the guys signed to the expensive contracts were young guys. If they had panned out, we would of had good young talent in its prime for 3-4 years.
