I just think this team has too many needs to tie up 20 million or more into Dre’mont Jones.
Shit I'd rather trade for Buckner if possible, money is going to be roughly the same.I do too, but I think they're gonna do it anyway.
Togiai is horrible! Dude gets pushed back or tossed aside like he’s on roller skates literally every play. Winfrey has shown promise but Jordan Elliot is nothing special and don’t think he’s made any impact plays. So we need to fix this position asapJordan Elliott deciding to really shit the bed the first year he had a chance to make a name for himself was a blow.
We also drafted Togiai who has been dreadful and honestly I’m surprised by that one.
Winfrey might still be okay.
But we have drafted guys.

Looking at the amount spent on a 2nd contract, whats the difference between "draft and develop" vs "sign already developed" players? Unless you get a stud that performs in years 1-4, the cost to retain hasnt seemed any cheaper than signing a guy from another team.
Most players who sign extensions before they hit unrestricted free agency end up ultimately getting less than they would on the open market.
They trade in some (not a lot) of future earnings for the immediate security.

I think the idea is that you develop a pipeline of talent so even if you lose guys to free agency you have new guys to fill the gaps.
So instead of paying a ton to keep a good player, you get younger cheaper talent to replace guys.
And you don’t panic if you lose someone and aren’t desperate to add someone.
