This upcoming off-season might be one where we will need to look at free agency and a trade or two to get back to a more 'competitive' level. Then hope the new coaches can actually have them perform. If not, that Super Bowl may have to wait another year or two ....
I hope they have a change in philosophy when it comes to FA. If they shed contracts like Peko, Maualuga, and Dre then they should have some cap to sign some halfway decent players. If the team was in full rebuild mode, it might benefit them not to blow money on FAs, but they're in a place where they need to make hay while the sun is still shining i.e. Dalton and Green are still relatively young.
Honestly the only way I see them even pursuing b-grade FAs is with a new HC and some staff changes. Marvin got quite a few guys signed his first year in James, Thornton, and Hardy. Maybe a new HC would get the same benefit. Otherwise, I expect more of the same "Bengal Way" of doing things.
