2020 edition! Caldwell just got fired and you become GM. Where do you start?

#21

1. Fire Marrone and Wash. Promote Jay Gruden. Bring in Ken Zampese as OC, who developed Dalton through his prime years and worked under Gruden in Cincinnati. Replace Wash with Capers and identify someone on the current staff who can replace Capers in a year or two. If that guy isn't there, prioritize finding him for next offseason or, if he's a college guy, try and bring him in now as a position coach.

2. Keep Foles at his current rate. The guy won a freaking Super Bowl coming off the bench, and with our starting QB on a sixth-round slotted deal, it's not like paying a backup starter money is going to slaughter us. Keep Norwell at his current rate. He's not bad enough to cut outright, but not good enough to keep by pushing money into the future. Pick up Fournette's option.

Cap cuts: Swaim, Dareus (already declining and lots of options in the draft), A. Jones, M. Lee, J. Ryan
Restructure, possible cap cuts: Campbell, Bouye
"You suck" cut: Cann. Then re-sign Cann so you can cut him again, because he sucks so much that cutting him once simply can't express it strongly enough.
Extensions: Ngakoue, Chark. No, extending Chark isn't necessary, but it sends a message that Coughlin is gone and this team will reward production.

"Splash" FA (try to land one of these): Chris Jones, Byron Jones, Brandon Scherff, Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper
Gap-filling FAs (target value at these positions from B-tier guys): CB, FS, ILB, DT, OG, TE, OT

Draft targets:
Rd. 1: OL, DL, DB, ILB
Rd. 2: All of those plus TE and WR
Rd. 3: TE, WR, DL, ILB, because if we haven't addressed OL and DB in the first three rounds, we suck more than Cann.
Rd. 4-7: Just take the best guy on the board regardless of position.

Intangible considerations: start inquiring about the availability of a comfortable flat within walking distance of Wembley Stadium, because screw driving in London.
