They drafted Garcia with the intention of letting Solder go Imo. But Garcia's illness has meant they may have to overpay to keep him. Ideally they can sign him to a short deal - 2 years, but I fear someone will make Solder an offer and blow him away.
Personally, I sense a shock trade on offense. Could see Cooks or Gronk getting traded.
I don't care that we only just traded for Cooks - BB is all about value and Cooks is going to likely ask for a contract not commensurate with his play. He had a solid first year but he's going to want to get paid. Comparable players are Davante Adams ($14.5m a year), Alshon Jeffrey ($13m a year), TY Hilton ($13m a year). I just don't see Bill giving that kind of money out to a guy who had some problems catching the ball last year. You could have Edelman, Amendola, Dorsett under contract with millions to spare for the same amount. Maybe Cooks plays out the season and they evaluate next spring, but I could also see a Chandler Jones style trade, where it was clear that they weren't going to pay him $17m a year so got what they could in a trade.
