So you sign your core players (Atkins/Dunlap) and replace MJ with a cheaper salary to clear room for the new Atkins/Dunlap deals. Not like we'd be losing much by replacing MJ with a cheap FA or draft pick. Heck, a cheap FA might be an upgrade.Wins and less dysfuntion on the field is what will impress. I've seen dozens of supposed "cheap FAs and draft picks" come and go. M Johnson's Is not being paid anywhere near upper echelon DEs.
And fwiw, I'm not sure why you'd knock the Bengals FA habits right now. Didn't they just bring in 2 of the best players on the market? Plus a few others?
Care to name any of these potential "cheap FAs" who would be an upgrade ?
