Agreed Robinson's 12 mil/Tomlinson's 6.5 mil and Autry's 7 mil savings along with Rankins 11 mil could've gotten them the best FA center on the market. Dahlman, Fries and traded for Jordan Mason like the Vikes did. Caserio didn't trust Simmons to be healthy (I didn't either) or Ersery to be good enough to be a starting LT in the NFL. But imagine an offense that looked like this QB CJ RB Mason/Marks/jc Merritt WR Nico/Kirk/Noel/Hutch/Berrios/Watson/Horton OT Simmons/Ersery/Fisher OG Fries/Howard/Ingram C Dahlman/Andrews/Patterson TE Schultz/Bryant The only guy I didn't want was Simmons due to injury history. but all of these moves could've been made. They weren't unrealistic moves either. I wonder who decided where the resources should've been spent? Caserio or Ryans? Regardless Caserio should've told Ryans we're spending money on the offense in FA and also the draft. If he wasn't allowed to by upper mgmt then that's pretty par for the course for what we've seen over the last 25 yrs. If Caserio had the power and didn't stand up to Ryans and tell him that's what Caserio was going to do then Caserio should be fired and I say this as a big Caserio fan.
