I don't agree with this 

 

In 1988 when Kelly was 28, their was numerous young ascending talented football players that hadn't fully blossomed like this team. The past 3 drafts have been excellent. Rousseau may not be Bruce but could be a Charles Mann or Sean Jones Charles Haley level player. He's dominating ppl on the regular 

 

 

Can he play at the Chris Jones level?

1 sack in 6 playoff games for Greg. 
 

I wish Rousseau was better than he is, or at least as good as many posters think he is, but I haven’t seen it. He’s going to command a 25+ million/yr salary based on the market for his position. Another difficult decision for beane; a borderline good/very good player that, from a money-ball perspective, ends up being low return. E.g. Knox, Oliver, Jones, epenessa, miller, bass.

Why wouldn’t they 🤔

 

Going strictly by production, and ignoring all other considerations (chemistry etc.) josh is the only player that isn’t replaceable.  There are some nice players on the team but zero other hall of famers

I think we will offer them as much as anyone else. I think we value them highly based on what I have read. As I said everyone else is available for the right price.

That’s why they are all worth first or second rounders.

Taron Johnson is the only other guy that is irreplaceable. They have some quality young players. Bernard would probably be next for me. Rousseau is having a really good year but he seems like a really good player, not a dominant star. Spencer Brown is probably the other guy to consider in that tier. Shakir is a perfect fit with Allen as well.
 

In summation:

Irreplaceable - Allen & Taron

Have to be blown away - Bernard, Rousseau, Brown, Shakir
