If I recall correctly, they only paid Dre that much because neither Whit nor Zeitler resigned. In hindsight, obviously not giving Whit the 3 year contract was a bad move. However, if his age had caught up with him the next season, as odds said would happen, then we would have been moaning about what a boneheaded move it was sign an over the hill tackle for big dollars. And it is not like they hadn’t tried to address the succession issue. No one knew at that point that both Ogbuehi and Fischer would turn out to be busts.
