If we simply replace one with another (cheaper) version, then we aren't getting any better, we are simply standing in place. That's also assuming that the replacement player actually lives up to those expectations (as they sometimes don't). It's nice to know what kind of production you can expect from a young veteran, because he's already done it!
The guys that you let walk are players who think too much of themselves or simply don't want to stay with their team. So, the salaries that they are looking for are not in line with their production. Somebody like........Dunta Robinson?

I really think we can get another OD in the 3rd or 4th round like we did the origional and I think that's what the Texans should do if OD is too greedy
when it comes to a new deal, in spite of the sweet-deal Winslow got ?
Winslow may be a jerk, but he has Gonzales type talent and ODs just not a classic TE but mainly a real good fit in a very non-standardized kinda offense.
Why we may already may have the next OD on our roster in the person of one Joel Dreessen ? Cap money is a finite resource and it shouldn't be squandered on players who are not that difficult to repalce relatively speaking.
