I know people argue about this but a lot of people still just don’t pay attention to team building - just how they are doing.

Maybe...or maybe Ownership is actually frustrated they had to move all those players and frustrated they haven't been able to add.
In the offseason I had heard that ownership expected to make the playoffs this year and was frustrated that they couldn't find a way to add in trade or free agency.
I had kind of shrugged it off as the typical rumors attributed to Edwards because of the actions of the team, but I am wondering at this point if it was true.
The lack of a contract for Conroy does indicate maybe there is a disconnect between Conroy and Maloney / Edwards.
And Seravalli being so blunt about Maloney needing to go so Conroy can have success seemed a little pointed too. To me Frank's comments screamed that there is a power struggle going on.

Teams arent going to just start negotiating against themselves
