i dont think anyone we bring in would have trouble making calls . we arent making the playoffs in year one of gruden . we should expect some improvement in the team but again losing riley isnt a big deal
in the end i think we get riley at our price or close to it
Lets look at it like this.
You bring in Spikes and another LB at $6 million a year a piece. You just spent $12 million. Now both their prices are inflated because we have created an extra need due to the fact that we have no ILBs.
Or you keep Riley at $7 million (if thats his price) and you bring in Spikes at $6 any way, possibly $5 because you havent created an undue need by trying to lowball one of your own. You also arent trying to have two guys learn your system at the same time. Less learning curve, likely better over all production. And what makes you think Spikes and others wont be looking for the same $7 million Riley is reported to want?? I tend to think we are much better off keeping him than trying to plug in two new guys. And if the over all difference is $1 million a year, you roll with it.
