Patriots have done that for years
These players have been moved on because their effectiveness didn’t match their cost.
Trade RW. Then you’re rebuilding.
Sherman
Kam
Avril
Shead
Bennett
All Starters
Add Graham
and that's six starters, possibility of Thomas being traded based on rumors and Coleman, Dion Jordan, Mike Davis , Thomas Rawls, Dewey McDonald all getting tendered.
That's more then 2 or 3 all starters or big contributors in different aspects.
That's pretty much a re tool, rebuild, now add in all the coaches let go. Restructure, reorganization, re engineering or what ever you want to use to avoid the rebuild word, but it's a rebuild.
It's rebuild with a hope in fans eyes of having some wood in the shed and materials on hand, call it a face lift if that makes many feel better.
I feel fine about it. Thanks
Avril and Kam are still on the team... and were in and out of the lineup last year. so thats still "2-3"
Maybe its semantics. People assume a negative to the word "rebuild" when really this team isn't changing directions, starting over or anything of the sort. They are shifting players whose injuries have made paying them their salaries not worth their time on the field.
Every team does that. Remaining competitive in the process is the important part. I believe the Hawks are doing just that.
