If I remember correctly we were going to re-sign Armstead but we were trying to free up $ to sign Watson and couldn't commit to a figure for Armstead, the whole Watson thing took so long that TA could not wait and signed with the Phins, I could be wrong though but that's what I remember hearing.
I agree on the QB purgatory part. Also if I remember Nick saying that only 1 OC candidate turned down the OC job in 22 , I'd have to dig to find out who that was
But you're right DA didn't inherit a full cupboard. He overestimated that " The table is set all I have to do is carve the turkey" statement. Now granted SP was a better carver and probably would have done a better job on the turkey
