By who, you?
Jones, Nelson, Barnett, Merriman, and Wilson clearly were not considered "core" guys by OBD. All the evidence says otherwise.
You listed two UDFAs, a castoff that signed late in FA, a mid-season waiver claim, and an old vet that was given a team friendly extension prior to '11. This is what you are using to grind your axe?
If you want to complain about Fitz and Levitre, fine, go ahead. But for the sake of all that is holy, please don't try to spin it like OBD ever said they were going to build around David freaking Nelson.
Get a grip man.
By "large" you mean Kolb and Cassel money, right?
