Most of those players getting 50 offers and signing with someone else. It really wasn't anything enjoyable. We might suck for the rest of the year, however we could be just as good in the coming season or 2. Filling a roster for me with some of my own players lets me enjoy the tactical side of the game. Everyone has a reason to play this game, it doesn't have to always be the same reason. So for me this move is to make me competitive in the future with a team that I know will be constant. I have about 8 guys who have stated they wish to play and add their own players to the squad later. So just because we handicapped ourselves in the short term, it doesn't mean we can't rebuild.
Good post!
