i.e. Both Andy and John had contracts expiring and Andy signed what is essentially a long term contract considering his age, however, John would not commit to the same due to the fact that he is is leaving for Green Bay next year. Clark realized that putting a new GM and regime in place now for next years draft was his only choice. Like it or not he is 100% correct.
Hopefully our new GM can get and keep us out of cap hell.

If that's the case he should have hired Ballard as his replacement a long time ago.
