Why not keep Andy as a backup?

I just don't think we should hope Mike makes a dumb move (keeping an $18 million backup) to prevent him from making a dumb move (cutting Dalton and pocketing the money).

I think we should just hope Mike makes the correct moves, and step one would be parting with Dalton.

It's not frugality, it's the path of least resistance.  The easy way.  They have to spend a certain amount.  Andy puts them $18 million closer to that amount without them having to lift a finger.  The hopeful part of me thinks maybe after a year of a half full stadium they will decide to put some effort in, but I don't know if they've fully recovered from the coach search yet.
