They are just trying to do whatever they can for Oakland to lose interest in them so they can go to Las Vegas.  Pretty sad when a team with so much his history will be moving soon.

Well… to be fair, their history is one of moving:  Philadelphia, Kansas City, Oakland.

Never said anything of the sort. Please stop making these assumptions. Nothing has changed between the upcoming year and previous years for them to cut their payroll by 50% willingly. They’re more than capable of retaining players that have made them competitive in recent years. 

On a separate note, being a Tampa and Oakland fan would be horrible. You get to know up and coming players then they’re traded within 5 years. No wonder why their attendance is always in the bottom 5 of the league. 

There is none so blind as he who will not see (John Heywood)  Of course something has changed and someone that follows the game the way you do can't possibly be unaware.  They have valuable assets that will be free agents in 1-2 years and they can't afford to extend them.  Oakland and Tampa has a long history of trading these players at this point.  Not only do you know this but you know it's how they have been successful.  

Guess what ... All businesses of all types have similar issues.  It's a bitch to compete against much larger organizations and the resources they possess that smaller companies can't afford.  

BTW ... The exact same thing could have ben said about Chicago or Seattle.  These are recent examples of teams doing the same thing ... deciding to rebuild because they felt it was the best way to build a contender.  Both teams are now positioned very well and Chicago was very aggressive with free agents when the timing was right.  It has been reported that Seattle is now looking to spend.  They have a good young core which has positioned them to add via free agency to build a winner.
