The Minter signing was a good signing, but they could have addressed weak positions in 2013 (C with Kevin Mack, LB with Karlos Dansby, for starters, coulda had Darryl Williams), and chose not to. Now, those good players we drafted are gone, those holes are still there, and more have been added due to our FAs departing. Not very good foresight by the FO, IMO.....or maybe they saw this need and were overruled by Ebenezer....which is entirely possible. Gotta have those comp picks and rollover money!
Crazy stat: We only have 18 players on our current roster under contract for 2019.
Atkins, Dunlap, MJ, Jones, Lafell, Fisher, Shaw, Burfict, Eifert, Huber, Minter, Smith, Hill are all free agents over the next 2 years.
The only guys I consider core guys locked up for more than 2 years are Kirkpatrick, Dalton, Iloka, Green (3 years), and Boling.
Now you have to think we'll re-sign a lot of these guys...but we've seen that if a team offers a guy top money...we let them walk.
