Listening to some Pods today and Locked On mentioned something to the effect of this next year may be a bit of clean up getting ready for the next GM. One read on how things appear to be moving with Hargrave, Allen and Greenard it's more of a cashflow exercise to get the organization more appealing to new leadership candidates. Not sure I buy it, but it seems the Wilfs maybe throttling back and cleaning up bit as they are "learning" the NFL process. It just pisses me off that last year was such a lost year, and I like less and less in hindsight.

No idea why they’d be cleaning up for the new GM, more like cleaning up after the old one.

After 21 years? Really?

If that's honestly the case we have no hope here lol.

This if anything. The podcasters need content so everything gets discussed, like 'cleaning up' for a new GM....which makes zero sense.

It was a late firing, so no time for a reasonable search, so yeah cleaning up after the old. Put things in order, Allen, Hargrave, major disappointments, move on. Clean up the roster with out tying hands for new GM. Ascending Turner, potential good return for Greenard makes 27 a more appealing situation to walk into. Like I said not sure I buy it, but It is a different perspective. If the goal is not kicking contracts can down the road and giving a new GM latitude to maneuver a with less dragging hubris. That was my point about last year being wasted, a good year last year would have been more definition on JJM and a roster getting deeper. Instead we have an under performing great offense that consumes a lot of future cap space. And an over performing defense, we are betting a lot on BFlo. I would find the Job more appealing to be moving forward with minimal mess from my predecessor and not having to correct every issue.

At least they may be learning, so there is that.

3rd or 4th rd pick???

Agreed. Starting point would have to be a 2nd round pick, but like I said, maybe a team like New Englad (if they can't land Crosby) could be persuaded to give up their 1st for Greenard and a say, a 4th in return? I'm not even picking up the phone for a 3rd round pick offer.
