Going into the next offseason, I didn't have many holes, but I did want an upgrade at FS, which meant Justin Bowers. I knew he'd be expensive, but I had a ton of cap room to work with, so it was just a matter of trading up. Mike Vrabel retired, but I didn't get his stats, sorry. No FA signings for me again. Here's a recap of in-draft trades and picks.
