I don’t think that Rock was suggesting the signing of all 3 players, merely suggesting a priority list?
As to affording new incoming FA’s? I think it’s very doable, tbh. In fact, it seems inevitable.
Not necessarily blue ribbon A listers, but highly effective 2nd tier FA’s, nonetheless. BTW, I don’t consider Rock’s guys as top tier FA’s, anyway.
Trade or release Quinn and Barron while allowing TruJo to walk and add those savings to our existing $45 million in cap space and we’re in great shape for several shrewd FA moves, IMO.
Last year was an excellent illustration of shrewd FA moves both outgoing and incoming. Tremendous bang for the buck with incoming 2nd tier FA’s such as Woods, Sully, Barwin, Webster, and NRC. Whit was the sole top tier incoming FA.
These FO and coaches get it.
