And, very importantly, these decisions need to be evaluated in parallel to letting FA's leave.
Imagine having two of the following guys instead of the scrubs we have released/retired: McClain, Claiborne, Carr, Church
Mclain and Claiborne are having very good seasons. Jets love Claiborne, he is the leader of their young secondary.
And Carr and Church are having pretty good seasons. Church would have helped the run defense immensely. Heath could have continued to play pass.
Haven't run the math, but could we have signed two of them instead of these guys who aren't here now?
No way this should be glossed over.
