I am curious how you guys think we should approach this season. I think there are a couple of different approaches we could take.
Option 1. Go for it now. Resign Amari, trade for Adams. Resign Dak (whatever it takes) Resign Cobb. Sign a mammoth DT. Resign Byron.
Pros: Shot at winning it all next year.
Cons very short window. (See Rams)
Option 2: Prudent run this year. Be selective about resignings. Sign Amari. Resign Dak. (Or franchise both). Sign value contracts. Pretty much stay the course we have been on the past 5 years.
Pros: Slight shot next year. And the following years.
Cons: Need coaching to get us over the hump. Same as before except better coaching and less cap to work with.
Option 3: If you build it they will come. Think longer term. Tag and trade Amari. Tag or sign Dak. Draft a QB somewhere in top 4 rounds to develop.
Let Byron Walk. Be judicious in free agency. Use draft picks wisely.
Pros: Team cap and talent level gets better and better. Cap stays healthy. When you really think you want to make a splash and go for it the cap is there to do it.
Cons: Might hamper your chance to win it all next year. But the window stays open indefinitely.
I think I would go for option #3 unless opportunities indicate that option one or two are better in a given instance.
