I understand them being frustrated by the cash spend last year and poor performance from the guys who got the big $ AND we had a terrible season.
I also think they looked at the Rams and how quickly they rebuilt or the Eagles going from the collapse they had to end 2023 to a dominant SB win this past season.
If you look at the Eagles offseason last year it wasn't exactly super heavy. Barkley was a big signing but it wasn't a huge $ move as several big name RBs were eligible for FA. Baun was a huge move for them and that was a nobody type of move. Their biggest offseason acquisition was a healthy scratch for the SB actually in Bryce Huff.
Overall we still have some really good building blocks or players at every level of our team.
QB: Purdy
RB/WR/TE: CMC, Kittle and maybe Aiyuk
OL: Trent/Puni
DL: Bosa
LB: Warner
DB: Lenoir
Find some under the radar FA signings here in the second phase of free agency and then kill this draft.
We may not be SB level team on paper but we'll see how the draft plays out and see if our coaching can work some magic.
Trent, CMC, and Kittle have about 1 or 2 good years left in them probably. Not sure CMC and Trent will be what they were in the past and Kittle had one of his healthier seasons, but he takes and gives a lot of punishment.
They are probably not part of the next run. Warner may be.
