The Seahawks, Eagles and now maybe Rams and potentially Bears have shown a path to Super Bowl contention. Get a passable QB on a rookie deal, use the cap savings to build a loaded roster around him.
If we add someone like Nick Bosa or Ed Oliver, we should be very cheap and potentially good at QB / LT / pass rusher / MLB / CB.
Clearing out the dead cap this year “should” allow the team to be major players in FA and quickly build the talent level of the roster. Our best hope is that’s the plan.
