I've always thought that the teams plans for 2016 are to sweat the coaching staff and Romos contracts plus get rid of some dead wood with a view to a complete rebuild from 2017 onwards. Our lack of activity in FA is indicative of this. Quite a few contracts will be up after 2016.
The draft so far supports this i.e.
1. Didn't make a serious effort to move up to get Goff or Wentz - management doesn't trust the current coaches to develop a young QB and the next coach will want to pick his own franchise QB. Not firing Wilson after he had a terrible year also a sign.
2. Smith - wont play 'til 17 - nice gift for the new regime.
3. EE will have more impact in '17 whem DMC is out of contract.
4. Resisting temptation to fill the suspended DE gaps for 2016 - whats the point in a throw away year.
I'm mentally preparing for a 1988 esque season and hoping that what happened from 89 on will happen again.
