Ben Johnson

The cap will be fine in a couple years and I don't think it's near as big an issue to coaches as it is to fans arguing on the internet. The roster is aging, but we do have some good young players in Fuaga, Olave, Shaheed, Breese, Taylor, Kool-Aid, and maybe Penning and Rattler. Miller even looked good on Thursday.

Plus we will likely have a top 5 or top 10 draft pick.

The reality is that any job that will be available will have major issues. If they didn't then the job wouldn't be open unless it's someone retiring on top which isn't happening this year. The available jobs aren't going to have franchise QBs unless you think Lawrence is one and I don't think he has shown to be that.

We have issues, but all the jobs will have issues. Regardless, even if we don't get the top guy, who is likely Ben Johnson, there will still be plenty good options out there. Frankly, there are better options this year than the year we hired DA.

Sorry to bring some reality into this pitty and misery party.

Agree. There’s plenty to be negative about without inventing stuff. People who think we’ll struggle to hire one of our first choices clearly don’t understand how the NFL works.

We have a GM who won’t fire a HC until at least 3 years in, an owner willing to maximise spend by cutting bonus checks to restructure contracts and most probably will have a top 5 pick. Those things make us just as attractive as any of the teams that will likely be looking for a new HC. Where Ben Johnson goes will ultimately be decided by salary and contract length. I have no reason to think Gayle Benson wouldn’t be willing to make a big offer, should Loomis go in that direction.
