Don't forget that the success we have had over the last 2 seasons is also helping to attract FA Vet's like Weddle and Matthews.
The trades have all helped to get us where we are and I am pretty happy where we are right now.
I have a different opinion on this. Where they are right now is that they have 2 players on expensive 1 years while at the same time they are coming up on extending Goff.
They don't even know if they should keep either Fowler or Peters and yet they cost 21+ M combined in 2019.
Signing veteran free agents has nothing to do with that. They obviously did not trade for those veteran FAs, and they don't have to decide on whether to extend them long term. They are proven players and leaders so everyone knows that they bring (as opposed to being uncertain about 2 players which together cost just over 21 M.) Signing vet free agents is something they do well I think. No complaints there. But it's a different thing from trading high picks for short rookie contracts.
