That makes no sense. You're going to pay 7.5 Sack Flowers MAYBE $2M less for less production in "Win Now" mode? Really?

Stop looking at AAV. Look at the 2019 cap. Flowers is NOT going to cost $14M against the cap in 2019, for any team.

And Dee Ford has a LENGTHY injury history, followed closely by a history of being very inconsistent. Everybody keeps bringing up his 10 sacks in his 3rd season.

Does anybody actually recall that he had all 10 sacks in the first 9 weeks? He didn't notch a single sack during the stretch run going into the playoffs. He COMPLETELY disappeared.

Again, I said this boils down to what we value as human beings. For me, I view the chance of Dee Ford repeating 2018 about the same as his chances of being far worse than 2018, or worse, hurt again.

You want to take that risk. I don't. I NEVER will.
