My man. Players are going to get cut eventually. Campbell is old. Dareus really isn't worth his contract. Church is aging. As long as they continue drafting well, a lot of older players are going to be gone.

Eventually is the key word. Why speed up that process for core players? Campbell may be old, but he had the best season of his life. Dareus is worth his contract. Our run defense got exponentially better once he was signed. Church may be aging, but he had a very effective season as well. Until these players show they are slowing down on the field, it would be asinine to get rid of them. That's what teams like the Patriots do once they've reached "elite" status and have several championships under their belt. We haven't reached that level yet. We need those players to get to the top of the mountain. We're still drafting the BAP at positions of need. We haven't reached the level to start drafting for depth behind aging stars with big contracts.
