[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 666081"] The question here is not this player or that player, this group or that group. It's 3 factors in combination: (1) the number of core and key rotational guys entering 2017 FA, unprecedented during the playoff streak (2) the amount of 2017 cap space consumed by the core and key rotational guys who are not 2017 FA who you'd think you'd want to keep around for that season (3) the relative lack of core players on cheap rookie contracts come 2017 The 2015 draft was decent, assuming Montgomery and Rollins can stay healthy while fulfilling what is so far fleeting but unproven promise. This 2016 draft and the 2017 draft together will need to produce about a half dozen core and key rotational players to stay in place. If those drafts look more like 2011 or 2012 than what we would hope 2015 eventually reveals (and that is a hope at this stage), don't be expecting a return to the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
