You may be right.
There is a case to be made to handle it that way. I put that forth in the draft thread to bite the bullet and move all the big contracts and stack draft capital.
However, there is conflict of interest. Unless Haslam approves of the plan and gives them leeway.
AB and KS are on notice to win now. The plan put forth means losing now.
Evaluation of the quarterbacks is critical. Whatever is decided about who to draft and where will be front and center.
Personally, I could give a crap about AB and KS future.
I would agree that the evaluation of the quarterbacks is critical whether this year or next for the draft.
This has to be a 2-3 year plan to get the QB, get out from under these prorated contracts, and build a winner.
Fans may believe the QB has to be front and center but unless they start rebuilding the o-line TODAY, it won't matter who they draft at QB.
The Browns fans and the Browns organization have never showed the patience in the last 2 decades to let a young rookie QB grow. Putting a young new QB behind a line that is aging, losing performance, and having 2 or less years on a contract that WILL NOT be renewed is young QB suicide.
If Haslam is focused on having a competitive team before he moves into the new house, he better authorize the total rebuild now and that has to start with the o-line. Waiting is just delaying the inevitable and will set the team back years in the rebuild not to mention QB growth.
AB & Stefanski (though I don't believe they're the guys) can explain a lost 2025 for a major improvement in 2026. Waiting to address the o-line in and after 2026 will delay and stunt that growth. JMHO
