At least we find out that day if he signs or not. We won't know much more then that. A lot of time until next season for things to change.
Be nice to get him and draft another qb, and let Cj and a rookie battle for the 3rd spot an hopefully keep upgrading.
Yup July 17th is the date...correct a lot can happen in a yr, I'm all for options
I'm down for a front loaded contract on Kirk, develop CJ and possibly another draft pick, THEN take our more than likely high end draft pick and trade it to the highest bidder. We could use all that draft capital to build the OL/get a pass rusher. I can see us looking at FA for a WR as well.
Imo Kirk makes us a viable playoff team and we can still build for the future with those draft picks...a lots got to happen but it's not totally unrealistic.
I agree a quick turnaround is possible with good coaching and quality draft picks and FA's.
Jim did a good job, but we had some good pieces in place.
I'm looking more so at Seattle and what they did in the short time for there turnaround.
A good coach came in, and they brought in good draft picks and the right FA's that fit there System.
Yes they landed Russell, but I think with that #1 defense they've had, I still think they would have turned around that team even with a less talented qb.
