I think the point was always that it was not WORTH signing both of those guys.

Yep ... IMO we can't afford to sign all four meant it would not be wise to sign all four. Obviously that was the case. It is why both are gone now. Of course they have the money but it made no sense.

So he cost 25 mil a yr, cy will go about the same so it would take 50 mil off 100 mil in cap space meaning as I said from the beginning they team could in fact keep all of them if they wanted too

I brought up the cap 3yrs ago and my projections were also right

Now you can argue it would have been dumb , you can argue that it’s too much to pay for a d/line group and that is fine and fair

You can’t argue it wasnt affordable. It was but it was in fact a choice as I said 3 yrs ago
So you were right about some dumb shit which would've cost way more than it was worth. Congratulations.

Nope it was we can’t afford too, not worth ,but afford

Nobody believed we could not afford it literally. Everybody meant we cannot afford to because it was stupid and it would weaken us elsewhere. And I have pretty much nailed the cost of Allen, Payne, and Sweat.
