A guy like Eifert is just going to walk after the season and we’re going to get nothing for him which makes no sense.  Letting guys like Dunlap and Atkins play out there contract until there 33-34 on a bad team makes no sense either. Need to get younger and develop young  players.  Were 3 great drafts away from even being a contender.

Let me say this again" NO team was trading  a high draft pick for a player who hadn't been on the field for a full year".  I also disagree that we are three drafts away from being a contender. The top QB in the draft, a top RB in the league, the return of Williams , along with a lot of cash to buy help on the defense will shorten your predictions by one year or maybe even two. Dunlap(9mil) and Atkins (11 mil)have already been paid the bulk of their contracts and will be on the cheap(you have to have line men).  Biggest needs WR, LBers, and O-line . I believe if we are lucky we can fill those needs next off season and be competitive in 2020.
