I am beginning to align with those who want to just burn it down next year, get our cap issues resolved no matter how bad a team we end up having to put out there. New coach would have to come in with that being the plan.
Problem is there is no way that you can just tear it down and fix the cap in one year. It's going to take two years no matter what you might want to do. This year you either have to convert a bunch of Carr's salary to bonuses or you have to do the same with a bunch of older vets along with possibly getting pay cuts to get under the cap. And we don't really have any tradeable assets that we can afford to trade. That's also going to apply to 2026 to some extent, but we should be well under the cap in 2027.
Personally, I want to move on from Carr to see what Rattler has so we know if we need to draft another QB in 2026, but even that move would not allow a total tear down. And you will pretty much so be at that point in 2026 when the contract of all the older players expire. So it's going to naturally happen.
They just have to start drafting better and stop trading picks to move up and you get a natural reset by 2027.
