Lewis, Greer, Lofton, , Sharper, Shanle, Fujita, Collins, Haralson, Heath Evans, Goodwin were prime examples of free agents that didn't break the bank and fill a role nicely. Some even played top notch.

However, Byrd, Grubbs, Hawthorne, Bunkley, and Lorig are examples of guys I think we paid too much for.

Way too early to lump byrd in with that bunch. Byrd was our best player on defense when he was healthy.
