Not saying Calais was an error. He was arguably the best free agent signing in franchise history and I wish we hadn't traded him, but I can see the logic in the trade though.

All around, pretty good moves so far.

I see the Calais and Bouye trades as guys that were likely to be cut this off season or next and get something for them as opposed to nothing.

I didn't want to believe we were in full rebuild mode a few weeks ago and that Doug and Dave were on one season win now agendas.
I see now that Khan is likely to give them to the end of their contracts in a plan that was to dump as much veteran $ as possible, stockpile picks, get young and try to be competitive.

I believe we can be competitive... something in the range of a 7-8 win team with a lot of young guys to build around (Minshew, Chark, Allen, Oliver, 2020 draft picks)
With the ultimate goal being playoffs or bust in 2021.
I imagine thinking 7-8 wins is possible is probably drinkin the teal aid a bit?
And really, with a solid draft this team will be night and day different from last years squad. 6 wins to 8 wins while getting younger and clearing cap isn't terrible albeit, very slow progress.
