Really?
I mean...I wouldn't go that far.
Carter, Baun, Dean, Sweat and Williams all seemed more critical to me. Now that said, they lose 2 of those guys in FA and another may be limited all season next year due to injury.
I do think he was probably the most important piece in their secondary but you can also see what they're doing there - just pivoting to a secondary built around DeJean and Mitchell long-term. Similar to what we've done in losing Reid and Sneed the last two years.
But yeah - I'm surprised they couldn't get a better return.
