Unfortunately, this is where the Belioli-style of picking talented players comes back to bite the team in the ass. They were amazing at identifying starter-level talent like Samuel (a 4th?) Koppen (a 6th), Branch (a late 2, if I remember), Givens (7th).
So they got these great players on the cheap, and each one has outplayed their contract -- Branch and Koppen to a tremendous degree. Don't get me wrong, it's the fact that these guys are so good, but so inexpensive, that allows us to sign a guy like Dillon, who was instrumental to one of our Super Bowls.
But now what do you do? You've got players who were all expecting to be taken care of after outperforming their rookie deals -- but now they're all expecting to be taken care of AT THE SAME TIME. Any hemming or hawing, or if Samuel gets more than Koppen, etc. and it's easy for these guys to feel unappreciated, and head straight for free agency, where they have watched guys like Givens get *more* than their fair share.
It's going to be tough keeping this team together, that's for sure.
