I feel like we all knew it would be worse before it got better after losing Marvin. It was not going to instantly be a better team, there would be turnover. Why sign a 3 year contract for a team trying to rebuild??
Because the team has said all along and sold to their players that they weren't going into a rebuild. That's why they kept and extended so many veterans, but it's pretty easy to see that a rebuild is exactly what is going on now. There are probably some vets that feel they were sold a bill of goods when ZT was hired.
Teams that openly go into rebuild mode under a new coaching staff do what the Dolphins did. Clean house and get as many draft picks as possible, then rebuild with new FA's and rookies.
