After the embarrassment of getting dismantled by Green Bay the decision makers came to the conclusion that this team doesn't have the talent to win and its time to do a soft/quiet rebuild for the next two years. I fully expect that this offseason will be very similar to last and most unrestricted free agents will depart and needs will go unfilled. The only free agents that will be retained are probably Rico because he will be cheap with a loaded RB class and pick between Golston and Lewis. Everyone else will sign somewhere else unless they will accept near the league minimum. The RFA and ERFA will be resigned or extended if they agree to team friendly extension or will play on a one year deal. I would also expect that Wilson and possible Steele will be salary cap casualties in the name of cap space. This will mean this team has extensive needs all over the place, especially on defense. Unfortunately as we have seen this year, this team still will have to much talent to pick near the front of the draft.

The only significant contracts I see this summer are a Parsons extension, maybe Smith (Guards are Getting $$$) and Bland (With the idea Diggs gets cut 2026). This is depressing because we are sacrificing years from are best players who are supposedly in their prime. It will be hard to watch but I don't think it is the necessarily the wrong decision. I might be in the minority but I don't think it would be wise to open up cap space this year and spend $Millions$ on a weak free agent class. Really believe we could sign 2 top free agents and it wouldn't have a significant impact on the overall trajectory of this team. Just have no confidence that this front office will actually be able to rebuild it. But I'm guessing the plan is to build around Prescott, Lamb, Smith, Parsons and Bland in 2026. They will be the only players with significant contracts on the roster. But for this to work the Jones's better hope that last years draft class gets significantly better and they hit on this and next years; again not much hope!

This is also one of the reasons it isn't an enticing head coached position. The others are pretty well written and immense!
 
The writing was on the wall before the season started. My expectations were immediately lowered last offseason. Understanding where we were then made me think we were looking at two years of mediocrity.
 
wasting peoples careers looking for a cheap qb

"make me a dollar, ill give you a quarterback"

lame existence
 
I think we do Smith too, he'll be one of the low key signings that came out of nowhere like the Jaylon Smith deal and our Right tackle, can't think of his name lol

If that was the plan they would have let Dak walk. There is no plan, they are flying by the seat of their pants.

No matter what fans think - The organization believes in Dak and he still relatively young for the QB position at 31.

Yep. No way you make Dak the highest paid player ever if you are planning a soft rebuild. Team building begins at QB, so any rebuild starts there.

Can you name any QB that won a SB in year 10 that had never been to one previously as a starter?

How do explain last summer if you don't think they are rebuilding? Didn't resign any of the DE depth that were major contributors, left the DT position as is, letting the best run stuffer walk, 2 starting offensive lineman and a starting corner also needed to be replaced. Most thought they were going to take a step backwards losing that much talent on both sides of the ball.

I explain it very simply - Jerry has no idea how to do any of the football stuff. No clue at all. Nobody with a rebuild plan keeps a lame duck coach an extra year, nor do they make a failed playoff QB the highest paid player of all time with a no trade clause.

This isn't rocket surgery or brain engineering. It's quite obvious what is going on.
 
The only way this makes sense is if they've decided to cut Dak and eat the cap hit immediately. Cheap disposable coaching staff who can be fired after an 0-17 season.

They believe in him so much that they drug his contract negotiations into the last possible second ?

That’s what I was thinking and draft Arch Manning with the #1 overall pick.
I know it’s a long shot but I can dream about it.

They can't do this because they don't have the cap space to eat at the low end $90 million.
