I'm starting to have second thoughts on keeping Iloka over Nelson. Nine mil for a safety makes me cringe a bit. Reports of him planning to leave if he isn't franchised are a little off-putting as well.
It might not be so bad to give Reggie a 2-year deal for 6 or 7 mi per and groom Smith to start beside Williams as the future of the franchise at the position. Additionally, the team could draft and develop another to round out the depth chart and play teams.
If keeping Reggie here over Iloka means they can afford to keep another FA with the money saved, I'm for it. IMO the team will feel the pain from losing Adam Jones more than any other free agent. It's critical to be able to afford to bring him back.
