Which would be great if we entered this year expecting to go 5-12 or 6-11 so sorting things out while losing a year doesn't matter as much. Not great when you were expecting to compete for a SB and your in-his-prime franchise QB had his final year of being affordable before he nearly doubles in cap cost.
