1) Jaire has a connection with Jackson, and a deeper connection with the east coast.
2) Players do make decisions based on state taxes, and I'm sure it's another consideration given Maryland's state taxes can be lower by a few points.
3) Given our "retool" year, getting older injury plagued vets isn't in the best interest of the future of our franchise. I rather develop Green and Stout with Brown as vet depth. And there's still available talent in FA should we decide in camp that we need more depth.
Agree 100% with your 3rd point. Looking forward to seeing what the young guns can do and how they grow. Lets keep the "youth movement" going.
