This fundamentally results from Baalke doing absolutely nothing during the season. He has some idiotic policy of not negotiating until the offseason, and then he drags his feet meeting with Allen's team to the point that we are where we are.

Now, there is virtually zero chance that we keep Ridley, which means this genius wasted a 3rd rounder and opened yet another hole on a team with holes everywhere.

It's frankly inexcusable to have our cap situation with our results. We've wasted almost all of Lawrence's rookie deal with a piss poor OL and a horrible defense. We've given mediocre players the bag and have drafted too poorly to get better as a team.

Ridley and Allen are two examples of guys who openly said they wanted to be here and contribute to our success, and Baalke has missed the mark entirely in keeping them.

So fellas, we now need WR, 3-4 new OL, DL, and CB, and we've lost a 3rd rounder for nothing. 9-8 at best again.
