The funny thing is we just released a bunch of underperforming players from a team that went 6-11 last year.
Greenlaw is the only guy who would've been great to keep because we don't have a legit replacement for him.
We also just watched the Rams do this type of reset literally 2 years ago. EERILY similar situation.
They go to the SB. Following season suffer some injuries and go 5-12.
In the offseason they trade away some of their big names and release some others(including Leonard Floyd)
They sign no big name or big $ free agents
They attack the draft even without a 1st round pick to show for that 5-12 season. They make 14 picks and add a bunch of UDFAs
They come back with big contributions by their rookies and go 10-7 looking really strong going into the postseason.
We also just watched the Bills do this...last year.
They cut a bunch of their vets(including Leonard Floyd). Add a bunch of dead cap in the process.
They add almost nobody of big name, $ in free agency.
We all know how close they were to going to the SB.
I keep seeing this point but the amount of starters we've lost, along with the lack of depth seems more severe. Both Stafford and Allen are top 5 QBs that elevates the offense, Purdy hasn't quite proven that and we are about to mary him for 5yrs. 2026 is the plan to regroup but this might end badly if we don't hit this draft or develop "young" players and we're left with an aging TE, LT, RB, WR with two torn ligaments with an "above average" QB
Agreed. People again are delusional if they think Purdy is better than Stafford right now. He was playing great in the playoffs this year it was pretty insane watching some of this throws.
