I think there are 4 more winnable games (MN, ATL, AZ, and GB). Given that it’s always been a rebuild project, I think we keep Poles, Flus, and Fields if we get 7 wins, especially if we look okay in the losses.
The team is on the way up, still playing hard, and I think 3 years is a more reasonable timeline.
The fact that we may end up with a top two pick from the Panthers changes everything. Fields is due to get paid and we could give him another year to prove it but his option would cost 23.5 million the year after. That’s essentially a fully guaranteed one year rental. There’s no guarantee we end up with a pick to draft a qb in 25 in case he doesn’t work out.
