So we traded Olawale and saved 1.5 million only to pay his replacement more? We paid jelly too much. All of Reggie’s followers explain what a capologist he has been yet all we have to spend is 13m
I don't think as fans we want to accept that we may have to take 1 step back to take 2 forward. That doesn't mean our record can't improve, better coaching and game planning/scheming/calling will help a ton. If I look at a 12 win team that became a 6 win team I am expecting about 8-9 wins without applying context, etc. to the equation just for having a better staff in place. No we aren't signing big names in FA, we are plugging holes, building depth and finding reasonably priced players. With the downfall of the JDR era, there will be some wasted draft picks, that has to stop with Gruden on the sidelines.
A good example, is Obi. He was specifically drafted to play a Kam Chancellor role in that "Seattle style" defense we were supposed to be building. With Guenther and his 4-3 Double A does he really fit what we are doing? That could go down as a wasted pick if he doesn't find a role - just due to the coaching/scheme changes if nothing else. I have hope he can find a role and be a solid player but I won't be surprised if it doesn't work out.
The team should be planning on a serious spending spree when they get to Vegas.
Let’s be real you can only afford a few 20 million dollar guys and we’ve decided Carr and Mack are them. There isn’t going to be a third (Suh) so you BETTER DRAFT ONE and enjoy the rookie price break. If RM does not get a good draft we’re back to sucking wind again
