There are always options. But by NOT re-signing Whit/Zeit and KNOWING that you had no good replacements was an absolute fail of epic proportions.
There are many ways to create cap room, this team just never or rarely utilizes them.
1. No way Whit and Zeitler effected contracts signed by MJ, Rey, and Vincent that were signed years earlier.
2. Og was coming off a rookie season where he missed all of training camp due to injury, and Fisher looked promising as a rookie. Noe way you can say the KNEW they had no good replacements.
3. There is no way to create cap room other than to cut players or take money away from guys who are already here. Also a team can not make a player re-structure a deal that is in place, and restructuring a deal does not solve the problem. All it does is push it down the road.
