They were signed this offseason. And if both weren't, we would have another 3rd round pick in 2018.
That's why the brain trust's strategy seems to be nonexistent. If you wanna get worse today to improve for 2019, why is Kyle Williams on the team? Why are our comp pick players still here when they cost us picks? Why are you extending old NFL centers?
It doesn't jive. That, or they are trying to half-measure.
Let me ask a question, though. If you had to "get rid of players you don't see on the field in '18," would you jettison Watkins for a 2nd rounder or Holmes and Ducasse for a third?
You can't say both (because they didn't.) I know my answer, easy.
