My vote would be to get to know and evaluate everyone in the building and everything about the operation before doing anything.

That, or hire someone like Ron Wolf or Ernie Accorsi as a consultant or name someone like Omar Khan team president and give them full control of the operation for now.

Not splashy I know, but prudent.

Host the HC, and his staff for dinner. Get to know each other event. Also, his players.

You are a new owner, and you want to make a good impression on your team. After all, they are putting money in your pocket.

 

In this case it's the other way around.  Tepper already has the cheddar.   He has the luxury of not needing their approval in order to make money.  The players need his money so he can afford to tell them to take a hike if he so chooses.  They will have to kiss his ass so to speak.  So no, he doesn't need to impress them but it would behove him to at least let them think that he's seeking their approval for the sake of moral anyway.

...or taking money out of it.

      His PPG actually did go up a little in Colorado. We will see. I still sort of believe we saw pretty close to the peak of his abilities last year. Not wishing him ill or trashing him in any way. Just tend to believe we did sell high and correctly so.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Well, other teams also had an offseason. I honestly agree with him. Right now I have way more faith in Coker ascending then I do XL. I think it's the TE/WR group dragging us down. Plus he does mention that the list was made with WR's very much valued more than RB's and TE's(I understand the thought process). In that context, we have a very aging AT, two "wait and see" second year players(one leaning bust) and a rookie.  I really think this is a very fair rating, on paper and in the offseason. Quite frankly, aside from the aforementioned and aging AT, this is a bunch of guys still trying to prove themselves.  Then when you go to TE, it's easily a bottom 3-4 unit on paper. That is probably being extremely generous.  RB is where we make our hay. Probably a top 5-10 unit. But....he mentions early in the article that he doesn't value the RB units as much.  So, really, it's the weighting of the skill positions that is what really fugs us.
