1 year played = essentially a 1yr/$12.5m deal ($5.83m dead cap space in '18)
2 years played = essentially a 2yr/$23m deal ($1.67m in dead cap space in '19)
3 years played = a 3yr/$33.75m deal
Would you have been okay with signing Whit to a 1yr/$12.5m deal? Or a 2yr/$23m deal? One would hope so after seeing how Whit played and how Ogbuehi played in '16. People too often hear "3yr/$33.75m" and go "I would have never given him 3 years!" when in reality it's easily a 1yr/$12.5m contract.
Well that's what I was saying. If the contract is easily escapable after a year or two, I would've been fine with bringing Whit back.
Basically ANYTHING other than going all-in on the dynamic duo (or the tremendous trio if you include Bodine).
Like I said months ago...if they were so confident in Ogbuehi, they wouldn't have made any offer to Whit at all. The truth is that they realized Og was crap, tried to keep Whit, and when that backfired they just ignored free agency and tried to sell us on Og's potential. It has Mike Brown written all over it.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
