Im with you on this. With all the contracts the were signed last offseason I don't think we can even blow it up. There's to much dead cap. It might be best to let these contrqcts ride and slowly replace.
The defense is a complete rebuild. Linebacker, corner, and safety have to restart from the ground up. There are a few on the line that's worth keeping but by the time we get the rest of the defense built up they will be retired.
Offense is a bit trickier. I'd say we let AR have his shot until it's time for a new contract. That's 3 more years after this. Let WR develop. Blow up TE room. Churn through RBs. Keep talent flowing across the o-line. Don't resign Kelly or Smith. Nelson and Fries should be resigned but at team friendly deals. Can't be the highest paid guards anymore.
