Great take, man. I agree, Lynch and Shanahan approached this FA period with the goal of simply adding some good players. We didn't go crazy with any $100 mil contracts or anything like that, but we upgraded the talent base on this team with several players. Each one of these players will fit into a specific role and produce something for us.
We've been too passive in FA the last few years. Ideally we want to use FA to supplement the draft, not ignore it entirely. Shanahan and Lynch haven't even won a game yet here, but have instantly brought back good vibes and a sense of stability needed to attract players to come here, and we didn't have to grossly overpay to do it.
We're not going to turn this around overnight. All these additions don't suddenly make us a playoff team again, but what it does show is that Shanahan and Lynch have a vision. They know exactly what we need to get and how to get it. It should only be a matter of when, not if, we are competing again under their leadership.

Sums it all up nicely

You gotta pay players. You think it's too much for arguably the best FB in the game? When that position is heavily utilized in the team's O? And also for 4 years and the guy is 25.
