Who has it better than us?, in terms of cap room combined with draft picks,also, throw in that were the 2nd youngest team in the NFL..
45 mill to spend, and 5 of the first 82 picks in the draft..combined I'm not sure there is a more enviable position to be in, especially this season with the cap being flat, and the draft setting up for our needs..
We also happened to develop an extremely raw QB and came out alive..

I agree 100%, I did not understand the other thread of it starting off bad. We are in great position to get playmakers and build this team and play at a level we have not reached in over a decade.

Well, the Browns and Bengals have more cap room. Just messin' DJ. :shifty:

I agree, we have an opportunity this season to really right the ship. It should be exciting to say the least.
That being said, sorry, I just can't resist:

If doing nothing is a great start Deej, think you are perhaps setting the bar a bit low.

I really do want to be optimistic Deej, seriously, however some of the noises I'm hearing sound like
"Rebuilding"
Ross talking about "long term vision" the statement "we won't overpay for the stadium referendum"
"Look at all of our draft picks!!!"
Yeah, look at the last 4 yrs of them, as Sect pointed out we may have 1 player left from 08/09

Yes we have all that but then we have Ireland making moves.
They cancel each other out.Aquafin, Fin-Omenal and oakelmpine like this. -

We're not like the Patriots who win and still have a lot of cap space though. We have a lot of cap space because we've been a mediocre team and a lot of the contributors to mediocrity are coming off the books.

We've been that, or near that, for years now.
Here is an example, who do you think will lose more Starters via FA/releases this offseason, the Dolphins or the Jest?NolesNPhinsFan and oakelmpine like this. -

Letting FA guys walk is something some of the best teams do, simply put. We have no idea what Miami is planning with regards to their free agents nor do we have any idea what this team's overall plan is. It's too early to start attacking this front office for not re-signing guys. Still quite some time til F/A.
No point getting excited until the free agency period starts. That's when we'll see the tone of this front office.Larryfinfan likes this. -

Some people here are complaining that we are loosing starters with one breath, and before this were complaining that our starters weren't worth a box of hair. It looks like any angle to bash the GM/Coach, that's all. We ahve drafted guys to replace most of these starters. Some played (Miller), some didn't (Egnew). We don't really know what the coaches are doing with them or why they didn't play. Alot of the Internet head coaches on here say it was because this guy wasn't any good, dumb, or we wasted a pick. The truth is no-ones knows. We'll see what happens. Relax already. Stop the gloom and doom before anything even happens. -
Probably should have bolded that part. -
I would feel much better about this offseason if Ireland claimed Knox, or at least signed him to a 1 yr deal
Not sure if he will even play again, however if he does that is one explosive player available for cheap and looking for work -
