I think they are at a point where they can't afford him. He needed to be signed a year ago or maybe even longer. Now we are looking for cheap help. Not sure how that's supposed to work out for us unless we draft starters and that rarely happens.
I don't think we can afford Holland, I don't think we can franchise him either. He's likely to be another 1st-3rd round pick from our rebuild walking out on the team because we're broke.
Kohu will be an interesting one - if he gets enough interest and offers elsewhere, we may not be able to afford to keep him either.
