If draft picks and free agents always worked out thn no team in the league would have a player over 30 years old no matter how good he was. But in the real world when teams find talented players they pay them well instead of just turning them over constantly for new draft picks or young free agents.
That is why you never hear a single GM say, "I hope our players don't do well this year so we don't have to pay them a lot of money." Instead, when they find a great player they usually are willing to pay them well to keep playing on their team.
What the heck are you talking about? Where did I say anywhere that draft picks or free agents always work out? Where did I say that I hope AJ doesn't do well?
I said neither of these things. In fact, I actually said that I hope AJ comes back strongs and puts up decent numbers. Which is the exact opposite of "I hope our players don't do well..."
Here are your scenarios regarding AJ Green without a trade...
-Scenario A: AJ walks after the season, and we get NOTHING
-Scenario B - AJ signs a new contract. We now most likely have a cap number of 13-16 mil dollars for a 33 yrd old receiver starting in 2021.
Here is my scenario....
Scenario C - We acquire a late first or 2nd round pick for AJ mid-season, and we invest the money that could have been used for an extenstion into Free Agency.
Am I saying that draft pick or free agent in Scenario C id destined to work out? No. And nowhere did I represent that idea. I'm saying that Scenario C is, IMO, the most ideal of the 3.
I'm not really sure what you're failing to understand here. And you're more than welcome to disagree. But you're compoletely twisting what I'm saying. And the sad fact, is given your previous statements on aging WR's, you probably agree with me here. But rather than admit that, you choose to go out of your way to argue about BS.
