Griffin to Garcon is going to rule.

Typical over reactionary BS. Dudes act like we gave him a Calvin Johnson contract or something. He was considered the third best WR prospect (production/age combo) in free agency and he got the 2nd best contract, mostly because Colston went back to NO and he's had 2 micro fracture surgeries in the past 26 months. He got a contract that when it's all said and done will be around market for a moderately productive WR who is 26 years old and his curve is ascending.
I think that the perfect offseason for some people would be if we:
-Re-signed all of our players whose jerseys they have hanging in their closet
-In free agency signed young, All pro players (preferably guards and tackles) to incentive laden contracts with a base salary of what else, VET MIN
-Repeatedly traded down until we had 2 picks in every round (not sure if they'd ever be used though)
And of course, win 13 games with 'young, hungry' players.
