As the draft has wrapped, we finish out the first stages of free agency. I make token efforts to retain a couple veterans, but lose out on TE Thomason. So it goes. If he made the team this year, it would be mainly to displace snaps for young guys - might make them cheaper to re-sign, but Thomason is not part of the 5 year plan, the three kids are. So... off he goes. CB Joel Givens is similarly situated - he's back on a salary-only 1yr deal, and his grasp of a roster slot is tentative. Right now, he's a decent CB2/3 caliber guy with a 99 personality match, so ordinarily he'd be a yes-yes-yes guy for me... but as a 9th year guy already he won't still be here when we want to be peaking, so... perhaps not.
