Chiefs What if Fisher sucks at RT?

First off, I love that this is now about Tyson Jackson. But sure, let's run with it.

You're right - under the old rookie wage (non-existent) system, Tyson Jackson's contract vastly outweighed his contribution on the field.

Guess what? That contract was renegotiated and his compensation lowered to an amount that IS COMMENSURATE WITH HIS PRODUCTION.

If you are trying to compare his contract/production to Fisher's then you're spinning your wheels. The contracts are nowhere near the same level.

In fact, Fisher has a lower cap hit than Winston would have, and while his play is also lower, his potential is much greater. He was a better investment financially than keeping Winston was.

So, since we have a finite number of assets including draft picks, where would you have preferred using that asset?
