Juju is a dependable chains mover, and mostly that's it. A big body, physical, good hands. Mostly, he played 'big slot'. Which is fine, but not that hard to fill, not something you have to pay $15-$20m for. And we don't have to fill that spot with the same profile player, even. There's no reason a more 'traditional' slot type body can't be just as effective, if not more so. So if Juju leaves for a higher salary, it's not a reason to freak out. He might find that his particular skillset isn't all that highly valued, and I think that's probably right. He's not a gamebreaker.
I know a lot of people are down on MVS, but his skillset is actually tougher to replace, and even if he doesn't get the ball on any individual play, his speed makes opportunities for others. And we saw that he can produce when you need him to in the AFCCG.
And Justin Watson had that stretch of dropsies, but is a no brainer to bring back, he'll be cheap, and is a MVS/Juju hybrid.
The team knows where Moore and Toney are at. What we do between now and May will tell us.
That's not worth a bunch of money. That's not a skillset that's difficult to find.
