I think this depends on the player and the position. If it is a position that doesn’t have a steep learning curve and a rookie can easily be plugged in, then letting the vet walk is a good plan. If you are replacing a player that is cost prohibitive to sign, you draft his replacement. Due to cap reasons, we just can’t re-sign every player we draft. Players on rookie contracts are very attractive, especially for expensive positions. I don’t think many people on here would’ve been happy giving Edmunds the contract he received from the Bears. That would not be good team planning.
