It'll only be the last one if you sacrifice the future for midseason short term pickups, or if the young guys don't develop. The younger players have actually shown strong promise. Another solid draft next year and letting guys like Huff, Banks and Ward leave and/or trading Deebo or another vet in the offseason will go a long way to turning over the roster successfully. Shanalynch have already done it once (see 2019 roster vs. 2023), but they'll need the assets to do it. Trading either as a buyer or seller in the next couple weeks makes little sense right now, IMO.
I think the frustrating part is that no matter what we do we're always gonna run into the chiefs or ravens. If we make trades now or if we stand by and draft more talent, I don't see us ever getting over the hump. Teams like the chiefs, ravens, lions, and Vikings are just better coached. They get the most out of their players. So idk anymore. No matter what we do we're gonna lose to one of these teams in the end.
