The plan wasn't to have to convert as much as they have been recently, Rugs. The Pandemic created a one year reduction in the cap and it takes a couple of years to build that equity back up. I also believe that the team has more interest and faith in some players than do detractors of their methodology. Keeping Thomas and Peat around may not be seen by the front office as a negative like some others perceive.

Some say why not do it like the Rams and the Bucs? Tell that to the season ticket holders that spend between $5,000 and $15,000 a year to attend the games. We don't want to sit in the stands watching the team maybe win two or three home games and getting blown out in losses. After bottoming out it may be a decade to get back to the point of becoming relevant again, if that soon. No thanks.
