[quote=mranquales post_id=1279554]Getting rid of Deablo made our defense better.

Chinn is better than Moehrig.

Hobbs is a loss but he hardly played.

Spillane is a downgrade.[/quote]I was quite surprised with the number that Deablo got and I wouldn't have matched it either. He's at that age , and experience level, where guys sometimes figure it out and I'll be interested to see which way he goes.

[quote=Attyla post_id=1279100]wow, a hindsight post lol[/quote]...I was going to do one of those, but than decided i'd wait and see how things turned out first.

[quote=chucker post_id=1278122]I am not an Andre James believer. But I'm a big believer in OL depth so I'd have liked to see us keep him as a backup.[/quote]...how he would 'grade out' always seemed to be far more generous than what I thought that I was seeing from him on the field.

[quote=WNYRAIDER post_id=1279582]...how he would 'grade out' always seemed to be far more generous than what I thought that I was seeing from him on the field.[/quote]I hope James gets enough cash as a FA that we get our $3 million in guaranteed salary this year back as an offset. I think there's a good chance, as there aren't good centers available.

[Bowl Cut Mark Davis]

Thumper LBs and Safeties, dubious in coverage... Ray Ray Armstrong next?

[quote=Dr Death post_id=1279498]Okay............... why?[/quote]Raiders could transact the entire Eagles team and still lose. That’s why IT DOESN’T MATTER! Find something better to do than discuss needs and contracts and transactions.

[quote=WNYRAIDER post_id=1279578]...I was going to do one of those, but than decided i'd wait and see how things turned out first.[/quote]Yeah, he seemed to be getting it and on the verge of becoming a solid starter that could be counted on. OTOH, it feels like Graham's hands are all over this FA period; like Spytek deferred to what Graham wanted. I don't know if that's true, it's just a gut feeling. What's more likely is that Graham didn't see Diablo as worth keeping around.

[quote=pfish57 post_id=1279611] I highly doubt losing 4 of his starters is what Graham wanted lol[/quote]My opinion had been that he was kept because of the defensive FA situation. I was either wrong ( the most likely scenario, just ask the wife) or it didn't pan out that way since we didn't hang on to the majority of players we deemed retainable.

[BoJacksonRules]

Butler, Spillane, and our Edge Players is what mattered. We lost Spillane which is huge, but it made sense not to match. We are in a good spot, especially if we are able to retain Chaisson for a reasonable amount.

Or did he become an UFA? So how do we get money back? I know, I'm ignorant. Mea culpa
