Prove that we are a mess.
Some like myself think losing Cooper and Conner were upgrades. Addition by subtraction, if you will. So how are we a mess if we have gotten better cap relief and less potential penalties.
I wouldn’t describe as a mess but when you lose 4 starters in Cooper, Williams, Collins and Gregory you can argue we have lessened our talent . Now whether our draft picks will adequately replace them , that’s still left to be seen .
We can argue the Cap savings was a sound move but we can’t be sure until we begin seeing their development and production. It’s entirely possible we take a step back this year losing 4 starters. Tough to say at this point . But I think it’s a viable argument.
It leaves our OL more questionable pending our replacements. And at WR might certainly miss Cooper with our question marks currently . At DE we could also miss Gregory. Time will tell but there’s certainly an argument to be made 2022 is like a retooling year.
Hopefully these were not only good Cap moves but sound draft picks moving forward. But until the results start coming in it’s only speculation at this point.
