Would you do this deal?

Like Nelson and Whit

But its just literally not possible to retain everyone you want and still be in a good position to grow.

Whit is and was a hard one mostly because Ogbuehi turned out such a bad season last year.

But Nelson or Williams? Nelson has more talent and is the better player and the contract difference was minor compared with the difference in talent.

Have to look at Marvin Jones, Sanu, Burkhead and Zeitler. In 2018 we have Hill, Thompson, Burfict, McCarron, Dennard, Minter, Eifert, plus some more coming up in free agency. Of those Hill, Eifert, Burfict and Minter are starters and we could see Dennard as basically the starting nickle back in 2017.

We can't sign them all and I do know that.

But our drafts have to replace these players not just in position, but in talent, and that's where this team has broken down over the last few years. Hunt never could come close to cracking the starting lineup. Ogbuehi shouldn't be starting but he will anyways, at least until he fails for half a year again.
