The investment overall in non-premium positions is eye opening, for sure.

The only player's contract I have a problem with is Horn. Time will tell with Moehrig. All others are justified or deserving IMO

Yeah, the Horn deal is bananas. He is genuinely not a top 10 player at his position, even when healthy. They are paying him for future performance and, TBH, I don't see it going well.

Let's hope we are all wrong and he uses it as motivation to be the best.

Moehrig is an interesting one. He is really going to have to play well to justify that, IMO.

I would think this is skewed a bit by having your starting QB, LT, and two WRs on rookie contracts. We probably end up with at least one defensive end in this year's draft class. And Brian Burns plays a premium position, but I'm sure glad we're not paying him the 4th highest salary at his position.

It's a consistent Morgan thing.

THIS RIGHT HERE absolutely insane for a guy who hasn't completed a season and had only played in 54% of the games in his CAREER

Needless to say the wins need to begin following promptly.

Burns 9 sacks a year were 100% not worth the paycheck he got (not to mention he's not a consistent pass rush but a guy who has an outburst game or two) 

Trading him was the right move they just should have traded him instead of Moore or taken the 2 1sts from the rams.

One has to wonder what happens if our win total is around 5-6

I thought that last year when we invested so heavily in guards. I was wrong because they sure made a difference.

Hubbard and Brown seem to be worth the money or possibly even bargains.

And Horn, that was a lot of money there, but it probably is just resetting the marketplace and he'll be down the list in the next few weeks. Still, I'm wondering about the balance between the impact he made last season and his availability through his career. It's a roll of the dice and I'm not sure how much is guaranteed.

Depends on what kind of draft we have imo. I think our offense gets better this year (if for no other reason the line now has a full season of continuity).

 

With the additions on defense health pending of course we should be much much better against the run, Brown-Brown-Robison on early downs is gonna be STOUT.  Rosewood and Moerig should help cut down on long runs.

 

I could see anywhere from 8 to 10 wins if we stay healthy.
