We don't want to admit it, but our bill has come due. Think 2024 and beyond.
I'm just grateful we got the ring and Les and Co. is leading the charge for the next run.
To think we are built to contend next year is silly. And I am old
Nah, as long as McVay is here they will be OK, barring catastrophic injuries like this past yr. Not that they will always be a SB contender, but they can win 10 games or more most yrs just because the league is so bad.
And I embrace what they are doing. They are being smart in changing the cap for 24' dramatically. So as Snead mentioned, between the upcoming 23' & 24' drafts, they will likley draft 20-22 or more players. With that new cheap labor, and an improved cap situation in 24', they will be able to add a some key outside FAs in 24', that could put them right back as a SB contender in a weak NFC.
This yr could be like the Eagles 21' season. 9-8, and a playoff spot. Then in 22' they were able to load up their roster a d went for it. That is the kind of 2 yr plan I am looking at while Stafford is still here.
Just need to find a rookie QB this yr to groom to at least be a bridge QB in 25'. The O' Connell kid, who they interviewed, looks very interesting. Good size, NFL arm, productive. GBN now has him in the top 120. Would be a nice addition.
