I wish it would begin. It my mind it hasn't even started yet.
As long as Geno Atkins and Gio Bernard are here it's pretty clear this team refuses to jump in to a rebuild. And really, you can probably throw Hart, Uzomah, and Hopkins onto this list as well.
None of these guys are that good, and none of them help us to start building Joe Burrow a roster than compete for a Superbowl in years 3, 4 and 5 of his rookie deal.
So far this year is just like last year. They kind of dip their toes into the rebuild water but they won't just get it over with and jump in. They refuse to let go of the past, and admit they're better off without some of these guys in the long-run.
They could be getting younger and replacing these guys with players who will gain experience in this system for down the road. Instead they're letting all of these guy limp in until the end of their contracts, which expire after this year or next.
