Can we get on the same page about something for once?
Bill O'Brien tanked this team. It has to be REBUILT, mostly on the defensive side of the ball.
The only superstar caliber player on the team, is Deshaun Watson. He was just given a big long term extension, so he is the teams guy going forward. If you ask me, hes a top 5 talent at his position. The most important position in football by FAR. He is 25 years old, entering his prime. So putting this guy in position to succeed, on this cap strapped and draft ransacked team means some tough decisions WILL have to be made.
The goal is to trade high salary assets to lower the super high salary cap, and bring in picks. We would then have free agency and the draft to start reviving the defense that's complete trash right now. That's the quickest way to hit the reset button on the watson/post obrien era. Otherwise your looking at a longterm rebuild into Watson's early 30s near the end of his contract extension…if hes not happy by then, we may not be good for a LONG time. this is the only way. Thanks for reading.
