I think it comes down to a deal by deal negotiating philosophy and we got caught off guard (no pun) by several players opting out when we might have thought we weren't done with individual negotiations. The sum of a teams net loss/gain is a combination of those individual moves and it didn't play out quite like we'd hoped.That said, my guess is that players with 1-3 years of seasoning should more often improve (there's always exceptions here)My hope is.. while I think we can agree we have a net loss in FA (significant).. I believe we will see a slight to moderate improvement overall in many of our young players because, if you recall, we were a very young team last year outside of Peppers etc..   I'm also excited to see if guys like Jayrone rise to the occasion. I believe certain players like him, given an opportunity and some inspirational mentoring, could cancel out a loss like Datone</blockquote>
