The NFL is a high-turnover "what have you done for me lately" type of league and it is even moreso with the salary cap. If you're a veteran, you are less appealing to most teams than a rookie or a practice squad guy because you cost more due to the vet minimum so, unless you're a player who produces well in your first 1-2 years, you're yesterday's news and nobody wants to pay to find out what you have left.
I'm not saying that to defend Casserly who obviously made bad choices but just to say I'm not shocked at the turnover rate three years into a new regime. Go look at the Saints and find out how many players are still heldover from before Sean Payton was hired.
As for dreaming of dynasties, knock yourself out. But reality tells me otherwise.
