I get what you're saying, but I think I would take a different approach from a COMPLETE rebuild. WE need to find a franchise QB, right? Don't pick up Tyrods option and start Cardale. Draft a QB in this draft. Why start Cardale? See what you have. If he sucks, then ok here is your top 3 pick in the draft next year. Hey, he might turn out to be good. Either you have a top pick in next years draft with 61 million in cap space, or you might have found lightning in a bottle with Cardale, with 61 million in cap space next year. Worth the shot IMO.
You referenced the last 3 years, so I took the middle.
