I am not sure they would have gotten $20 million worth of play from Decker. He had a solid career in Detroit and maybe with just a release, he surfaces somewhere else...but for less money.
At least with signing some free agents, they get players that are experienced and ready to go whereas with the draft, it's a crap shoot. Like Arnold, Rakestraw, Okudah, and a dozen others over the last 5-6 years.
I know they wouldn’t have gotten all of their moneys worth for sure, but I was kind of ok with it for what he’s done for the franchise. Dude put his body on the line and was a true warrior.
You’re right too, once the new league year starts we will have in the realm of 30 million in cap space and can make more. I expect Brad to sign someone for most holes in the roster, and also draft people. It makes it so you don’t have to force your hand but are not dependent on “lottery tickets” in the draft, to your point.
Good read here sir. I wasn’t expecting it either. They certainly have some trench work to do
For sure. However I feel like I can trust them to do it.
Yup I do as well
