I think any talk of Baalke staying is the fear that Shad doesn't see the problem. Baalke got to stay last time the HC was let go. I wouldn't be surprised if this is happening but I'm not going to bet on it.

The arguments about Kirk and Engram were mostly about money and in Engram's case a bit about scheme. Depending on who comes in at HC it could be that Engram isn't what they need at TE. I understand the argument about saving money but the thing is you still need to replace them with other high priced guys in FA. It was different if you had guys already on the roster. I don't think we have.
