So I'm pretty adamant about the trade deadline being a big part of being "all in". Its not all about final cuts and remaining FA vets. Our plan is hoping these young players earn these roles. We want them succeed, but if they do not, we are trying to win a ring.
Players can develop, but odds are we aren't going to be where we want to be by say week 4 or 5. So, do you keep hoping, or can you honestly watch the post season tape and say this won't happen again because we have a plan?
We have a little bit of money to spend this year, we better be willing to give up a draft pick to plug a hole. Such a move last year may have won you a ring. Let that be motivation to add weapons to go to war with and win it all. When a bad team is offering their capable LG on an expiring deal for a 5th rd pick, do it. That isn't affecting future money, get over yourself and even if Volson/whoever wins a job we need insurance especially at swing tackle.
