We are going to try to keep our own guys.
“The last couple of years we’ve been able to add in free agency and add some pieces places where we were missing guys and add some depth, add starters through free agency. Now it’s going to be keeping our guys, sustain the roster we have and then build through the draft and waiver claims.”

Cool, nice thread. For once this approach doesn't piss me off, it is the right way to go about things. Just cannot expect La'el Collins
to be ready by the opener or even next season at all with both MCL and ACL tears and his back along with his age on top of it.
Cut Mixon and trade for Garrett Bolles while retaining most of our own besides Bates and I am all good.

We could still add a nice piece or two for mid/low level contracts, but we are not in a position to give out big contracts to outside FA’s this offseason. Keep our guys and figure out Burrow’s extension are the big items this offseason. Need to hit on draft picks and keep developing our young guys to put us over the top.
Truth, expected this honestly. RT must be addressed though whether it is a pick in Darnell Wright or even better a trade for Bolles
who is a proven vet.
