Salaries continue to outpace other economic indices while viewership is dropping significantly.
Unless they can turn the latter around soon, this is not a good situation for survival.
Kennard's role on this team probably would have diminished if the 3-4 is in the cards. You have JPP and OV that need to be on the field which meant Kennard would have become a rotational at best.
shell out anything close to that for him. The jury is sort of still out on Kennard. We can acquire much more value at the LB spot with the limited cap we have.

Not sure if JPP is going to fill in at the OLB spot. He is not great in space and not great at coverage either. Probably better suited for one of the DE spots.
Kennard was overrated here. He was properly rated. An oft injured LB with some decent talent that just really didn't work out, but made some plays for us now and again. Why would we want him back?
Belonged inside he was lacking everything to be outside but they just could not see it. He was just always late to make a play in the running, passing and blitz game almost like he had no real football instincts. The real kicker that they were desperate for a MLB his entire time here.
it's hard to remember even 5 plays he ever made....
The only one I can remember is him wrestling a ball away from a Buffalo TE as they fell to the ground together....
Way over rated as a pass rusher, and cover linebacker.....not worth the money he got.....
However, the way money is being thrown around out there, we have a lot of UFA's to replace, and we might be overpaying for just jags.....but Gettleman inherited this roster.....he has to shake it up, hopefully with upgrades over what we had....
Methinks a lot of BBI are going to be disappointed in the first year results, but this is going to be a MINIMUM 2 year rebuild, thinking optimistically.....just to be respectable again...too many teams have been circling Giant games on their calendars as wins.....for too long.....
Right now we have two LBers on the roster, Ogletree and Goodson, and Goodson has to show he can stay on the field...

You couldn't be more wrong. Literally the exact opposite of what you said is true. Kennard is a 3-4 OLB. He is a strong at the POC physical player that sets the edge and can rush the passer well. He struggles in space and in coverage.

With Herzlich's signing, he was expendable.

Yup.
Holsey's problems weren't athletic. He was plenty athletic.
What I see now is a bunch of excessive Contracts. Don't want to see us in cap hell with a rebuilding team.

losing the FA period. Hope DG makes a comeback soon. MO
We're losing a period that hasn't officially started?
Jesus we really love some fucking doom and gloom.
Thought he'd be retained - but guess not.

You have shown you have zero football knowledge.
He should have been a 3-4 rush LB. They have a couple of these failed experiments. Clint Sintim.
I’d say he’s a little better than a JAG, but the injuries are definitely a concern. Not worth what DET is paying.
