Things that have to be accomplished during off season.

1.) Hire a new D-Coordinator. This Defense is not well coached. There always out of position and they lack the toughness and schemes that make the Steelers, Ravens, and Eagles defenses so great. Those guys are hardly ever out of position and our as tough as they come. There blitz packages make ours look like Pop Warner. I don't know who is available but we need a new D-Coordinator asap.

2.) Sign Gross say goodbye to Peppers. Keep that O-line(strongest link besides RB) intact. Peppers is a great athletic player but I don't think he is worth a big contract. I know I will catch hell for this but he doesn't dominate like he should be. If you notice in the big games he is no where to be found. Thats no secret, its because of lack of heart. Don't get me wrong he is great but we can free up some cap room to get more players to fill his void. We also can try to pick up another defensive tackle that can fix one of the weakest points of that defense.

3.) Cut Lucas, Marshall and Hackett. There time is up...we need to pick up a solid #1 or #2 corner in free agency. I'm preying we can get Aso from the Raiders but I DOUBT IT. I believe we can pick up a good receiver in the second round of the draft and let him compete with Moose for that second spot.

4.) Either let Jake go or bring in somebody that can take his place at QB. I'm really leaning towards releasing him but I'm not sure if there any good Quaterback's on the free agent market.

If these things are accomplished we will have a chance to be 12-4 again next year and the playoffs will be a different outcome, I guarantee it.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
