They did resign Mixon, but they just continue to let guys walk. Reader was a solid signing, despite him getting injured. But they really should have given this money to wj3. And now they are botching this Jessie Bates extension.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about the team. But the organization seems like they haven’t learned from the Whit debacle yet. If you hit on a draft pick, you sign them. It’s not rocket science.
That said, Hendrickson over Lawson was a smart move as he couldn’t stay on the field for us. But WJ3 could for the most part, and played well. Wayne’s getting hurt repeatedly is karma. Ogbuehi flopping was stupidity.
I will say I have liked a lot of their signings over the past couple years. But this is a high profile one where they screwed up in my opinion. No need to let WJ3 walk. He was better than Wayne’s anyway.
Right now, Owuzie is playing better than WJIII and we got him AND Hilton for the price of WJIII. Waynes had already signed so it wasn't really a matter of him vs. WJIII.
