Ivan, I agree.
for a better understanding about why they didn't resign so many talented players, you'd better ask @One-If-By-Sea I'm sure he can explain the ins and outs of financial rewards vis-a-vis roster building and the effects it has on team morale when a franchise rarely signs players who have earned it thru hard work to a second contract.
Thanks Pape, I’ll try to look into that if I get the chance. My hope is that dynamic will change with Mayo. They will still need to do a good job in managing the cap, t that doesn’t mean they have to be assholes when player’s contracts come up. I think the early signs for us when it comes to Mayo’s reign will be his ability to retain their free agents they want to keep, and convince this they want to bring in to sign here. And the second will be how he puts together his coaching staff. Then comes the draft, it will be really interesting to see how it all works out.
