Carlos doesn't see 'the plan'

[THE PISTONS]

Letting Whit leave hurt because he meant more than just a solid LT. With his age, I can understand letting him walk. I even understand letting Zeitler go because he certainly is not worth the money he got paid.

My issue is with the approach and the unused cap. Why not bring in players that are actually in their prime and could potentially help win now instead of bringing in former players and cut players so you can protect comp picks? The logic is seriously flawed.

That's just it...they would have NEVER used that cap money to bring in free agents. Not how they operate.

Whitworth's days were numbered when they drafted Ced...just like Gresham's were when they drafted Eifert. Fans thought they were planning some visionary 2 TE system like the Patriots. It was just a move to reduce salary at a position.

And I agree on the flawed logic. They're willing to invest 90% of their resources into winning...but if they'd just invest that remaining 10%...like other teams do.

Like the Steelers trying to sign Hightower after keeping Brown and Bell. They tried to sign Kirkpatrick. They whiffed...but our biggest try was Barwin...who doesn't come close to fitting our system.
