I hope Beane holds strong to a diplomatic line. "Thought it was in the best interest of our long term financial health, Stephon has been a great Bill and consummate professional, hate to play against him but it made sense for us."
Keeping it classy no matter what is a good FO approach.
And losing our WR1 while having a large cap hit dedicated to him this year. I'm not making a statement on the trade, but it's a missing piece of context to that statement.
I think between now and draft, we need upgrades to S and DT (I think the former will happen and I really don't know if we'll pull off the latter). I think we're standing pat at WR until the draft.
I see incremental moves with the later round pics to target guys in the 4th and lower rounds.
I think he'd like to move back to the early second round to get a 3rd round draft pick, but we won't know unless a partner emerges.
Rousseau, Von, AJ, Kingsley....[Shaq + rookie] at EDGE. Just guessing Shaq comes back.
For the rookie, I'm wary of drafting any of these Defensive Ends with our premium picks...
