Comparably speaking- we had several decent and even superior replacements for Dre if we had let him walk while the record shows that we had no replacement for Whit ( at the most important position on o line) and below average replacement for Zeitler. 

( maybe Westerman or Redmond will be above average but they did not get to play until the end of the year despite the season long awful performance by those picked by Mike Brown, Marv or Alexander to play ahead of them)

Signing Dre and letting Whit and Z walk yet another example of how factors other than quality ( or available replacements on roster) govern decisions by Mike Brown. The prime factor for all decisions is how it impacts Mike's bottom line.

I don't know how anyone can defend an organization with 3 or 4 playoff wins in 50 years in the parity NFL and no playoff wins since current GM took over more than 25 years ago.
That is not rational.

Given how much stock Mike Brown has put into the last two games of the 2017 season, I think Westerman and/or Redmond will be considered highly for one of the starting OG spots.
