People are definitely overlooking the addition of Tim Wright here. This wasn't a salary move at all. Well, that may have played a role but if Mankins was still good then I am positive they would not have made this move. They did it because they don't think Logan Mankins is that good anymore, and because they had a chance to get a very good young TE, which just happened to be their most pressing need.
I called out Mankins after the season for poor play and many people laughed at me. Looks like I got the last laugh now.
