Don't disagree with the logic, but the same salary cap pressures existed 12 months ago and we still found a way to retain both Akermanis and Eagleton (to our detriment in both cases). At least this time around we decided to make a clean break when encountered with the same salary cap pressure.
With no Johnson, Akermanis and Hahn on our list, there are opportunities galore for our emerging talent and new recruits to make these positions their own.
