[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 757321"] You're off to a flying start. Under those assumption you now have to replace a starting edge rusher (Matthews), a starting perimeter corner (House), the starting strong safety (Burnett), the starting slot receiver (Cobb) the starting RG (Evans) and the #3 OLB (Brooks, who was actually pretty productive on a per snap basis). Whether one thinks these guys were/are currently overpaid, replacing them with comparably performing free agents would still not be cheap. And even if you could find a whole parcel of mid-priced free agents, which is doubtful, it's not like that's enough. Rodgers absence exposed a roster performing at a pretty mediocre level on balance. There are the other areas of concern besides those free agent losses, such as finding a true shut down corner to free up Clinton-Dix from double team duty to be applied elsewhere. TE is in a pretty sorry state. Kendricks was unimpressive, does not run good routes, and his hands turned to stone in the cold weather. The right side of the O-Line poses several questions. You need 3 decent CBs in this nickel defense league. Are the 2017 versions of Randall and King, along with some guy on par with House, enough? I think we can agree not. Without a shutdown corner taking on #1 receivers thereby freeing up the safety double team, progress will be limited unless King makes a huge jump. TE is lacking. I didn't even mention R. Rodgers being a FA since he should be easily replacable. Kendricks was underwhelming to start with and his hands turned to stone in cold weather. [/QUOTE]
