Free Agents

Not sure I like or dislike this move. First it does free up $11 million BUT that comes with the expense on covering over the next few years, making him the fifth highest paid RIGHT tackle in the entire league while also crippling your cap numbers over those same years. And it still begs the question who want to come other than for the money. Seems like a last ditch effort by Rhule and staff to HOPE that something good can come of this. And hope is never a good strategy.

Now I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just a realist who sees exactly where this team is, the horrible decisions and moved that have been made, enjoy those number two and three draft picks this year, and what should be done to better prepare for the future as quickly as possible. This road we continue to travel in getting us…frankly to same same ending location we have been at for years.

It’s just my my personal thought process that you decide now that we are rebuilding and you act like you are rebuilding verses rebuilding and acting like you are not. Rebuilding in the NFL takes three years. It takes draft picks. It’s trading current assists for future assists. It takes understanding that and getting on with it. What are you playing for, another five or six win season or a championship, which means maybe you only win three or four next week. Option one is insane and never works, option two is a little more painful but gets you on a path for success… is there really that much difference in winning three games with a clear plan or continuing to be stuck in winning five games, maybe.

Now criticize all you want.
