Rebuilding strategy, forty-niners or saints?
It does not have to be a race. 49ers have more pressure on them because they have the QB, plus McCaffrey, and they were just in the Super Bowl 13 months ago. They traded Deebo but they have Brandon Aiyuk returning along with young Pearsall. Kittle is still there. Greenlaw missed the season anyway. I love his play but they lowballed him, he said no, and Sean Payton reeled him in.
The Saints in Moore year 1 just need to play better, show a difference in play relative to new coaching, and solidify as many roles on the team, since there's so much role confusion and instability with the injuries and roster turnover. They need to finally be a team that is improving by season's end, not cratering.
