If we had a competent front office, they would've realized that the window for contention was closed after last season and we would be talking about owning most of next year's first and second round of the draft for the hauls the team got for all the players that were traded, and then have signed a bunch of crappy older veterans to contracts to get above the salary floor to tank. Also remember that if Orlando Brown, Jr. had been signed for $100,000 less, there would be an extra third round draft pick. Had all of these extensions not happened, doing a mass fire sale after starting 1-3 would've really helped the team in the future. Most football players don't have that many great seasons before they're too hurt to contribute, and the way this team is currently built, they won't be in contention until at least 2033.
