Yup.

Those who expect we are gonna start next year without massive holes in the roster are gonna be seriously disappointed.

The saving grace is that we do have some good young players at key positions. We need to build around them.

Right now I'm leaning towards cutting most of the older vets on the roster and replacing them with youth. But, considering the pressure is on Caldwell and Marrone to win, I can't see them doing that.

Basically, I think our chances of success next year are slim at best whatever we do. Keeping /restructuring vets on big contracts may give us slightly better odds, but not by enough to make it worthwhile. Instead we will just cause more cap headaches for ourselves further down the line.
