I'm just thinking that the front office has a very specific plan that they are following. It would just be nice if they would share some details of this plan with the rest of us.
I dont understand it either. They talked about keeping our own players that have gotten us to the Super Bowl that make this team good and then they let Bell walk at 7.5 million per year? Now they will need to go out and sign someone that has no experience playing in Lou's system and hope he can adapt. Can they get a safety better than Bell? Yes, but at what cost when we have other needs that also need addressed. Can we get someone cheaper? Yes, maybe a couple million a year less but how good are they going to be and how will they fit in a new system vs someone we know, knows the system? I will wait and hope the team knows what they are doing but right now Im a bit disappointed they let Bell walk at 7.5 million a year.
