I'm done!!

I'm ok with them not breaking the bank for a guard who is good, but not great. Somebody will fill the role Z had. As of this moment we don't know who that will be, but we do know it's going to be someone making significantly less money than Z., someone who may or may not be as good, but we also know that that money in savings can potentially go to a much higher skilled position. Guard has never really been seen as one of the most highly regarded positions and I doubt it ever will be in my life. 
Sure, a few teams highly value guards, but most do not. 
The most sought out positions are QB, corners, DE and WR .. occasionally other positions get paid as well, but not that often.
