^^ Keep in mind that Ritchie and Stone were PTOs and therefore, were not signed over the kids. They were signed because the kids couldn’t grab at least those two spots. The other problem was cap and the scrub signings were cheaper than the kids, by 1-200K bucks. So that’s $500K-1 million saved if you play some $700K players instead of your rookies.
