[CRA]

So we got Greg and Cam.....who are the other 2 referenced that have been w/ Ron from day 1?

JJ Jansen is one of them, not sure about the other.

Let's say you're James Bradberry or Shaq Thompson. Does change lead to "change" for you too?

The negotiations there will be a bit more expensive.

Us deciding to keep Hurney last season likely ended our ability to sign Bradberry to a cheap"er" deal.  It's one of the many reasons I wanted him gone.

Don't know who that would be. Maybe someone on the coaching staff? Aside from Mills and Washington I don't know...

Greg referenced 4 players and 2 coaches.   An emotional day for Ron so maybe the numbers are just wrong.  Several guys since 2012 though.

If it's a player, it can't be a draft pick because nobody from the 2011 draft lasted more than a couple of years in the league except Newton.

I thought maybe Addison or maybe Colin Jones, but they didn't get here till 2012 I think.

[Mr. Scot]

I looked up the 2011 roster. Wish I hadn't. Just about made my eyes bleed.

(I'd forgotten Seyi Ajirotutu existed)

Would he be counting Travelle Wharton as a player rather than a coach?

well, Greg wasn't a draft pick either.  Just a reference to players in general. 

JJ, Greg, and Cam are the 3 known.  Would have to be someone similar to JJ I would think that doesn't show on the stat sheet.

Unfortunately this is the truth and has been for a long time 

We were content with being average as long as we had a nice and pleasant community. 

It's not that I want a bunch of divas. It's just that I'm tired of not being a consistent winning team because the focus is on having a bunch of content and pleasant people on the team who go out on their own terms.

You are on a roll today, my friend.  I agree totally.

To be clear, I didn't really think Olsen was going to be back next year anyway, but reading that comment makes me think it's even less likely than it would have been.

The question that comes to mind now is how many other veterans or free agents might decide they're not necessarily on board for a rebuild.

I thinl many pf them are not on board. I also think that many of them will be canned, even if they want to stay. That is all part of rebuilding. You basically get rid of all of your expensive players over the age of 25.

If I'm the GM and re-signing Bradberry and letting Shaq walk and taking the comp pick.

100% agree. Do you think Bradberry’s value has dropped slightly due to the poor defensive play lately?

possibly or maybe no change would have. Highest dollar value is the most likely of the three.
