If you can't trust your most important financial decision makers, then they shouldn't be in charge of making multi million dollar decisions. We're talking about nearly $60 Million thrown right out the window.

Bollig and Raymond, yes. They were garbage signings at the time of signing and confirmed as the deals played out.
Brouwer and Neal, no. No one thought Brouwer's production and physical play would fall of a cliff at the time of signing. At the very least, he would have been a physical presence with veteran experience and leadership. Likewise for Neal, but he was an even bigger disappointment. Again, at the time of signing these didn't look like bad deals.
