I'd argue otherwise. Let Lawrence, Irving walk, cut Gregory, rework Crawford's contract or release him, he's too expensive for his production. The smart teams (patriots) don't overpay for decent to good players, even in positions of need. Instead, they do without and maximize their strengths elsewhere. If we just went out and signed Earl Thomas we might have the best back 7 in the league. Rebuild the DL from scratch with young talent with potential. It won't be a strength in 2019 but the back end should win us enough football games along with a top flight offense (Frederick returns, sign TE Eifert at a discount, get a talented value scatback in the mid rounds, get a savvy/versatile slot receiver to complement Cooper/Gallup) we should be as good as any team in 2019.
