If we lose Ward, Fenton will be moving outside. Whereas if we keep Ward, we could slide Fenton into Mathieu's role - he's an intuitive, physical player in his own right.
But really, I'm not re-signing a 30 year old DB who's method of messaging is getting stale.

That messaging is instrumental to Spags doing what he does.
And I don't know how it's getting stale. The communication and scheme work in the back 7 is elite right now.
