dead money kills us again

Eh. Not really.

The bill always comes due. But you can always make room if there’s someone you want badly enough.

In this case, we actually had space if we wanted to make a move. But what was the obvious spot to upgrade? You would need someone who is such a significant talent upgrade that it also makes up for a lack of familiarity in the system.

And with the future QB situation up in the air, do you really want to spend a few million bucks on a depth player now? Or have that $ more readily available for base salary up front if you add a QB via FA or trade?
