I think you have the perfect take on things . Brockers , Hekker Zuerlien , Littleton, Gurley , McQuaide... Isnnt that about the last of the STLouis connected players on roster ?.

If Brockers isn't resigned that's a lot of vet presence leaving in the next year and last two years including Saffold as I expect our #77 to bow out at longest next year and possibly this year.

We can talk about current depth when analysing these signing decisions but I know Brockers Brockers has been a such a solid part of the roster for years and Littleton is playing so great that I'd much prefer keeping those guys rather than hoping we get a equal player on the cheap.
Especially anybody we think can step up from a backup status.
Kupp isn't going anywhere , and don't think we have to pay him All pro money.
Betcha.
