All right, Ben Standig's with us every Monday, Friday, and sometimes in between.

At Ben Standing on X, on Twitter.

Ben writes a substack column about this team, covers the team as good as anybody does,

and he's also got a podcast by the same name, Last Man Standing.

So I'll ask you the question that I asked our callers earlier this

hour, and that is, it's now 16 new, 12 new players since last Monday at this time. Four players

brought back since Monday at this time. They were a couple of additional players brought back prior to free agency beginning.

Who's your favorite signing?

Who's the one that you feel most confident about?

Boy, well, most confident about, all right, I'll go with one here.

I'll go with Nick Cross because, like, I really, you know, I think he's a legit, strong safety.

If you look at the stats, you know, he's led safeties in a lot of categories against the run, like things like, you know, stopping players for unsuccessful yards

or plays made, you know, behind the line of scrimmage.

And, you know, the run game, the run defense has been problematic for this team, you

know, the last two years, not saying everything has been problematic on defense, but, you know,

in particular, and if you don't stop the run, it's hard to get Mike else going.

You're in a division, obviously, with Sequin Barclay and others.

So, you know, I mean, plus, like, the money is not that huge.

The terms aren't that big.

So in terms of, like, sort of, you know, pound for pound kind of a deal, I think that one to me,

it's not a huge risk, but I think the reward is pretty obvious.

Is anything that has happened so far, does anything that's that we've seen so far
