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.

  Misread your post, you are correct.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
