I look at it like this. We set ourselves back with ej, and never got our qb. Watkins wants 150 targets, and we can't afford to tag him.
As for cleaning house, we have bad contracts on the books as well as bad drafts. Rex just had Whaley draft his guys, while he just plugged others into roles that didn't suit them. Beane wouos rather trade a player who may price themselves out, or isn't a great scheme for, for draft capital.
