It begs the question

I think they kept Sloman to erode faith in the Galactic Senate leadership, predictably leading to the granting of emergency powers to the Chancellor, allowing him to ultimately ascend to the position of Emperor.

Sloman was loman in the pre-season competition but I can only presume he was cheapest, thus giving us cap space. It didn't make sense to me otherwise.

This is probably the clear cut answer

I had not considered this.

I'm sensing Coach O.

It does have that vibe. Lol

Clear cut, wrong answer....
It would have been “cheaper” to sign a FA to a league minimum contract.

For the first year, but what about subsequent years? I don't know how that would have worked for them but I'm assuming they would have been RFAs and it would have depended on what we designed them as? Not sure

I’m not following.
You think they would choose a kicker that costs more this season than a street FA, out of concern that in a couple years they may have to pay the FA more? That literally flies in the face of every acquisition this team has made.
