I get what you're saying, but the D was that bad with those guys. The edges were ok with Sweat, awful with Chase. Liked to have kept Sweat, but the offer to a rebuilding team was too good and the team isn't gonna' spend $100m in a D-D-Line just because. Young, couldn't care less. Things turned out good for Sweat and good for the return. New FO, new staff, #2 overall pick, the team needs assets for rebuilding. Who cares about spending money or draft capital on stuff when the team would have either spent money or lost both of them, anyway? They got draft picks in return. Sweat got paid. Chase... well... nothing yet.
This isn't the Snyderskins anymore, though. This team is a promising destination because of the new ownership and the fact that anyone interviewing knows they'll get proper support, not Dan Snyder. I don't know if you have been following the last several days, but the stink of Snyder is done.
Ok... that's a bit much. It's unquantifiable and I particularly doubt interest in Chase was that intense.
