Yeah. Gallup is a luxury. A luxury I'd love to keep if it made sense, but it doesn't really.Can’t pay everyone and the offense doesn’t miss a beat without him.
You want to pay all these guys and tough decisions have to be made.
Im sorry but Gregory and Schultz will be high priorities.
Then you have a ton of guys who are on the last year of their deals.
Randy Gregory, our best pass-rusher, is a pending free agent and he's putting together a beast of a year. Everyone is also so happy to finally have really good safety play, but don't forget 3 of our 4 safeties (all the newcomers) are pending free agents and the other one has only 1 year left. Maintaining our pass-rush and good safety play are a necessity, not a luxury, to me. Paying our 3rd receiver #1 money, matching what the market will offer him, will make it impossible to do right by our defense.
Choosing to pay to keep the entire offense intact while letting key defenders walk seems silly and dumb to me. Like we'd be making a deliberate choice that the 2021 results are nice but we'd really rather go back to being the team we were in 2020 prior to the Dak injury, needing Dak to be a 7,000 yard passer just to keep us in games.
