Geno Stone takes pay cut

[jj22]

Instead of double dipping on DT for need in a weak draft last year, they should have put some effort into FA DT's instead of a rebound hire in Rankins because once again their approach is not to sign a FA until they are out of the running with their FA's. Proactive and not reactive. That reactive approach leads to and has always lead to failure.

Once they realize they can't re-sign their own, they are left with scraps in FA. And thus that is how you get the Rankins, Scotts, Owens of the FA classes.
