Rookie contracts are only 4 years. I’m not sure having a need in 3 years is a good resource of assets. “we might need a replacement at ___ in 3 years” can he said about every position. Literally every position. Wild idea, but maybe we can re-sign Fant and Tomlinson. Heck, LT just signed a contract, I’m sure he’s down for an extension already.
While what you're saying is technically correct, but between contract length, age, injury risk and salary cap, 80-90% of the non-QB starters in the league can go in the category of needing to be replaced in 3 years.
