Look for the Hobpsin article I mentioned. We get one every year right around the start of free agency. It always says the same things.
But it isn't every year we get the first overall pick and are moving on from our last Franchise QB either.
We are going to have to move Dalton's salary for sure. The thing that has me nervous is if we Tag AJ and he gets hurt again or we
overpay AJ and Mixon so we cannot make the right moves for our O-line and Linebackers. The weaknesses are obvious and if there
was a season to move on from AJ it would be this year with the depth in this Draft at WR.
That being said, if we handled it right and gave AJ a multi year incentive laden contract. Paid Mixon what he is worth which RB's
are not worth near what they once were and went out and got either an O-lineman or a LB or both in FA we would be sitting pretty.
But the latter is a bit far fetched sadly as well.
