So you're all about making guys earn their starting positions. But in the very next sentence, you're handing a starting job to their replacements?? Am I misinterperating this?? :)
I see nothing wrong with letting Feeley and Fiedler compete. And I have no problem with Thompson fighting for a job. However I do have a problem with Fiedler being paid $3.7 million to compete for a starting job.
Ruddy is gone. Perry is gone. Todd Wade is gone. Nails is gone. There's competition at RG and RT. Lots of young guys behind them competing.
