Sure, each of them likely could have made significantly more on the open market, but they like it here, they developed into the players that they are with this team. The intentions of the team to retain both of them allowed for the flexibility in going younger and cheaper at Safety.
Signing those two for essentially bargain contracts didn't "cost" the team anything, in terms of being able to solidify the offensive contract extensions. As I mentioned earlier in another thread, I'm just hoping that DJ Reader isn't the odd man out in the capenomics equation. Even if he is, I'm sure that the team already has a plan or a direction that they intend to go when that time comes up.
Spot on as usual Sunset. Letting Bates, Bell, Hurst, Apple, etc go allows us to pay about all these guys. Wouldn't surprise me that Katie
has the numbers all figured out to keep everybody just like Burrow said. Lots of number crunching though. Also hope The Gravedigger
isn't the odd man out. Dude helps us win when we need it. We can put him in and he can single handedly shut down the run.
