Now seems to me, we've always lost a little more than we gained but inserted draft picks and UDFA's onto the roster. This year, it's the BIG NAMES like Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd and a bunch of secondary players like Gaines, A'Shawn, Hill (again), Long, etc. But look back at who we lost some of those years. We lost a ton in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and won every year except 2022. And we all know WTF happened there. We didn't carry 17 offensive lineman from the jump.
