Alf and Knighton signed what amounts to very modest one year prove it deals:

Terrance Knighton Contract Details, Salary Cap Charges, Bonus Money | Over The Cap
Alfred Morris Contract Details, Salary Cap Charges, Bonus Money | Over The Cap

McLovin didn't want these guys on the roster. There was plenty of room to sign these guys for more than they got elsewhere.

We didn't LOSE them, McLovin DIDN'T WANT THEM.

I don't disagree with the 9-7 prediction because of the much tougher schedule but it's not going to be attributable to not have three players the GM didn't want.

The PFF debate rages on. I'll simply agree with you that the numbers don't happen in a vacuum. The numbers are the numbers but the author failed to put those numbers in context for his readers.

If the players in question had produced outstanding numbers, then there would be a stronger case for re-signing them. The Skins are building a younger team they hope will compete for years, so it makes no sense for the Skins to keep older, more expensive players unless they can produce at a high level in comparison to the entire league. It doesn't mean much that Hatcher and Morris surpassed their under-performing teammates at their respective positions.
