Hell, they didn't even know who would be available in free agency at that point.
As is typical, you're clueless about how things work. The fact you can actually sit here and say them not trading Geno and Dunlap last year when they could have likely gotten mid to higher round draft picks for them and cut big money off the salary cap is laughable given they are literally eating millions of dollars for nothing now.
The front office obviously had plenty of time to discuss what they were going to address the teams problems in the offseason. they saw the empty stadium and they knew they had to take drastic steps instead of taking 3 to 4 years to build through the draft.
Is it easy to say they should have traded Geno and Dunlap NOW when we see how they are playing this year? Sure. Anyone can be right when they have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, but the fact is that Geno went to the Pro Bowl last year, and Dunlap played great over the second half of the season. Plus we had no one on the roster to take their places.
The fact is that you were enthusiastic about hiring Taylor while I was more apprehensive. So it would be easy for me to say you were clueless because of how badly he has turned out. But I don't use hindsight to act like I know everything. And last year at this time I am pretty sure the front office had already decided that they did not have 3 to 4 years to rebuild based on the crowds they were drawing. So there was no reason to trade Geno and Dunlap. Instead they were planning spending a bunch on free agents in order to help turn the team around quickly.
