Front office building the team for the long haul

Keep in mind, as evidence to change, that we are resigning most of our talent, and people like Bently-- who are worth the money, are no longer bolting for the door. Faine left, but he was no where near as dominant as Bentley, and I would much rather pay Bentley yeserday what Faine is asking today. Too bad things deteriorated to the point that Bentley never saw the positive changes occur, and too bad for the staph infections half of their injured squad got. I digress though, almost all of our free agents are on record saying this is where they want to be and that they didn't even check out other teams but wanted to remain here. When was the last time we heard that?
