That's what some inside posters have been saying. The big question is does Moore feel the same.

We have to rework Carr's contract pretty much no matter what to be able to do anything in FA, re-sign our guys or even sign the draft class. Can still make him a June 1st cut though, basically give him a lil money in a restructure and free up our cap then make him a June 1st cut. Yeah he gives us our best chance to win this year but is that even what we want if Moore has job security this year?

People want to cut DC, and I get he's a not a longterm answer. But as I understand it he would have to be a 6/1 cut and we would have to carry that $ until then. That means we have to be cap compliant by 3/13, So we would have to restructure a ton of our existing contracts to get there All of our aging players and players we may not have long team futures for forcing us to keep them longer than we would like. AND NOT sign any of our FA players like Adebo, JJ, K-Pass , Harris , pretty much none of them.

Also we would have to carry DC salary till 6/1 well past FA and the draft Making sure that we will be only able to sign bottom of the barrel players just to fill out the roster. That would probably make us the worst team in the league. Yes we may very well get the 1st pick in the draft but what if there is no real almost can't miss Burrow type QB in next yrs draft? NOt to mention the frustration the fan base will be at. And the reflection it will have on Moore. Total rebuilds from the ground up RARELY work unless you have the #1 pick AND a Burrow is coming out, or you have a player you can trade for a boatload of high picks like The Lions , the Texans and the #1 pick that the Bears did and found someone stupid enough to trade for it and then be the worst team the next yr

I think the patience that is being reported that the FO will be having with Moore is. We'll have patience with you to build your team , you have patience with us to get the cap manageable without a total rebuild and being a bottom dweller team for 2 yrs at least
