The philosophy of building a winner has always been to draft, develop, resign your guys.

Because of our miserable failures in the first few years, we’ve had to completely abandon this philosophy and now are fighting to money to resign good, young players.  Oh well.  If this was part of the plan then I don’t like the plan.

I disagree. 

The players were taking about resigning all drafted players. We could release Dareus and free up around 15mil. We’d be in great shape then. I just don’t think Caldwell sees the value in signing Robinson for close to that figure while undrafted rookies performed similarly to his last full year playing. Otherwise, who else are we unable to keep?
