[h=2]Trying to understand the Tannenbaum direction in FA[/h] 1 minute ago
I am not a fan of Tannenbaum but, try to look at things fairly. I'm not getting his plan so far in FA. FWIW, here's my rundown with nothing but questions.
DE- We signed Mario for 2 years at $17M, and it does appear we are keeping Wake for around $20M over the next 2 years, totaling $37M for the pair. Mario is 31 and coming off a really bad year, and Wake is 34 coming off a bad year and a major injury. This is who we want and also need to sign another to take a lot of snaps from Wake.
We pass on OV, who had a really good year and is 25, and I had the same $12M value on him but, another team will sign him for $13-15M a year. We appear to have passed on Shelby, who had a VG year, and will likely get around $4M a year, totaling around $38M for 2 years if we go high on OV.
I do not know about anyone else but, for this team at this time, I would never give up 2 young building blocks coming off VG years for 2 older guys who did not.

CB- We want to trade for Maxwell (along with Kiko) for $18M for 2 years. He had a bad year and has an injury. We offset the cost by cutting Grimes (a good move). However, we drop down 5 spots in the draft. On the draft value chat, not a bad deal but, in reality the chances of getting a great player diminish. We could easily sign someone younger, better, and healthy for close to the same.
Again, I am lost in dropping down in the draft for a player coming off a bad year with an injury.

RB- We are letting Miller go because another team is giving him an extra $1.5M a year. I had his value at $5M a year as well. Some say RB's are easily replaceable and getting another is no problem. I look at what he has done the last 2 years behind the very worst run blocking OL in football and disagree, and he is 24.
We restructured Cameron to bring him down to $6M a year. While misused, he had a bad year and is worth more than Miller???

Quick re-cap. We are paying a ton of money for older players coming off bad years and some injuries.
We are not paying for young building blocks who have played very well.
The logic and direction does not compute.
