If we want to start fresh with a new QB then I see us being 2-3 years away from being competitive again. I also dont see that QB in this year’s draft class. However, we have to clear cap space and dead money to start fresh. Amazing players like Cam, DD, AK, MT13 and pretty much any veteran player over 27 needs to be released or traded.
So, I want to play the long game. Suck it up next year and clear every dollar of dead cap. Trade away as many draft picks as possible for future picks and go all in on the best QB in 2024 draft. If that QB isnt there then trade two first round picks for future picks and use the rest to start rebuilding through the draft. It may be 2026 again until we are competitive but we should be built for another long run.
Once we get the QB of the future then we can start adding key players in free agency while cashing in all of our draft collateral.
