Yes and no. 4 of those guys are responsible for a little over 40 million next year. So unless they wanted to give some of that money back on reworking a new deal they can't be too awfully upset.
I know the cap can be "massaged" but at some point you can't keep turning salary into bonuses and pushing the cap hit for that money down the road. You going to have to pay the piper at some point.
We have Alex Smith, Justin Houston, and Eric Berry that are about to get large contracts as well. I just don't see where in FA we could have done much that wouldn't have hurt us in the next couple of years with the cap. The exception being a stop gap one/two year player that might still be available or come available in the coming months.
In the draft what position would have been a better choice other than pass rusher, other than S Jimmie Ward with our first pick? I think he was the only quality player for that position, a position of need, left when we were on the clock. I also think that is the other position that could have had an immediate impact on this next season.
WR sure would have been nice for the offense. The WR position normally doesn't produce at a high level in the first year for sure and maybe on the 2cd year. A WR in the draft would not have helped those guys this year or maybe even next year.
Evidently they are not worried about the OL. I think most of us are uneasy about it and understandably so IMO. I still don't think they would have taken a RG with our first overall in this draft. They sure know more than we do, whether most want to admit it or not.
At least a couple of those 4 won't even be on the roster after this upcoming season anyway.
