Quote:Agree.  They must have a successor plan that involves actual replacement.  Not the false promise of addition by subtraction.

I don't 'think' they would let Lewis go if they didn't have someone in mind to replace him. The questions this raises though is who would that someone be and do they represent an upgrade at TE? Our cap situation is well documented; we've got plenty of room to play with so its simply not the biggest issue in discussing Lewis. I tend to think of it more as a distracter to the real issue; can we realistically hope to get a genuine upgrade at TE?

 

If we can then hooray! If we can't... then the whole thing about re-structuring Lewis's contract becomes a lot more important. If he won't re-structure, we should be able to sign on someone just as productive as Lewis has been for a whole lot less.
