I know that's always and constantly true, but I don't normally feel that way. I'm usually pretty confident in my opinions about how the team should move forward. I have no damn clue how this will play out, or what steps should be taken for it to play out favorably.
I don't think there is that big of a difference between running it back and a full reset anymore, not after the latest AD injury. I don't think they will get an offer that they think will be worth getting off him. He was the biggest swing decision.
I think the bigger driver is if they are willing to pay tax. They may want to run it back but not pay tax. The best way to do that is probably to shed some cap now. The most obvious candidates are Gafford and Klay. Maybe they can get somebody to take on Dlo.
So with AD likely not moving, there is not much difference between running it back while avoiding tax and a full reset. The only real difference might be your stance on Naji, but I could see both sides saying only if the offer is really good.
My fear is that they won't clear that cap due to indecision and decide/realize at some later point that they need to stop the bleeding when it becomes much more painful to do so.
My bigger fear is that they push hard to make the play-in and lower (possibly significantly) the value of one of their biggest assets.
