Let's be honest, most of these guys are injury prone, past their primes or didn't live up to their potential. The good part is these are team friendly deals. Smart signings money wise.

I get what Peters is doing. He has to come in here and start turning this roster over. I just think a few of these signings are terrible. But some are good, particularly the center. Gotta get an experienced center if you're playing a rookie.

The way I see this group of FA is:

* Some solid day one starters (Luvo, Armstrong, and Biadasz)

* Two needed specialists (McManus and Ott)

* Low risk/high reward guys past their primes (Ertz, Ekeler, Wagner)

* And the rest are going to compete for starting spots and/or serve as backups.

IMO these are smart signings, with good team friendly contracts, and needed bodies since the team has let most of the expiring contracts walk. We know this team is going to build through the draft and using free agency as a complement to the draft. And they are sticking to the plan, and that is better than any flashy free agency acquisition (how many of those have worked out in the past? None).
