Which teams? Do your own research. Camp and Preseason. It's impossible for you to know maybe. By your theory no one would ever get cut because the only way to know if a player is roster worthy is if he plays in games and we know that's nonsesnse. Whine and cry? It's called discussion. You know, the thing that occurs on a football board.

Spend wisely.

Wrong. Watkins had more than one team trying to sign him in UFA. Taron Johnson as a 4th round pick had nothing to do with any trades. They traded up for Edmunds and we hope he's a cornerstone player, but no one knows that yet despite the flashes. Same for Phillips who looks good as a rotational DT. Everyone knew Taylor was a limited starting QB that wasn't the type to lead a team to a championship, but turning to Peterman was ludicrous as he wasn't even close to being a better option. His flaws were glaring as I have said since he 1st started playing in preseason 2017. You couldn't see it, but many others could as it was as plain as day. What the team lacked was a potential franchise QB. Generally speaking, a team doesn't do itself any favors by shedding young, talented players from its roster that create holes in the roster as well as dead cap space. We'll see how much sense it makes eventually, but the strategy is not beyond being questioned.
