I don't understand this "let solid guy like Scherff/Allen/Payne go" talk, you build your team around solid guys like that instead of letting them walk and drafting a cheap replacement that isn't guaranteed to do as good a job as they do.

I realize our d has been underwhelming this year but I still believe the problem is with the LB's/secondary.

Matty I is gonna be pretty costly next re-up and Settle has earned a good check too. Hard to tie up tons of money in 1 position, even if in good cap position. Good to have cap flexibility to re-up your other guys and sign outside FAs. I won't lose sleep if we sign both. Not sure how feasible it is though.

Teams lose good players every year. Not possible to keep everyone every FA period.
