I have seen threads about the salary cap, about individual players, and about building the team. All of you are putting the cart before the horse. It is important to identify your core players you build around before making those decisions. First, let me identify some terms:
Core: Hill, Waddle, Williams
Near Core: Armstead, Tua
Above Average: Hunt, Ingold
Defense
Core: Wilkins, Seiler, Phillips, Chubb, Holland
Near Core: X
Above Average:
Once these are set, then discussions about the best moves have context.

- Near Core Player - A core level player not expected to retain that level of play for 4 years
- Above Average Starter - A starting caliber player that performs above the average.
Core: Hill, Waddle, Williams
