My Fears of What This Offseason Means

At first, I've been happy that we aren't mortgaging the future for current salaries. Now I'm worried. What if Ross has agreed to a "re-tooling", but he wants to have Grier and McDaniel to run it and plans for them to continue running the show for a long time?

I just think the media/fan pressure will be too much to not make a change. This looks like it may be setting up for us to have a top 5 pick next year.

Maybe Ross didn’t allow Grier to mortgage the future.

I am of the opinion that the reason that Grier and McDaniel aren't mortgaging the future is because Ross isn't allowing them to. I believe he's basically giving them one year to get the ship properly headed in the direction they chose back in 2022...or else.

If that was what Ross wanted he’d have them bring in as many big-price guys that are available no?
 
I’m looking forward to mumbling mcdumbass press conference explaining how we lost for 2 hrs
 
I really hope you guys are wrong. But yea I also fear it because I honestly don’t believe that winning is a priority for Ross.
 
I mean look at what is happening with the 49ers. They are definitely in a rebuild/retool season. No one is thinking Lynch nor Shanahan's jobs are in jeopardy. They are able to tear down, get the cap manageable because they know they will be back to build it up again. I think Grier and McDaniel believe the same thing. Their jobs are safe so they can tear down, get the cap in a manageable spot again and be there for the future.

I agree but I also think this is a good thing.

Organisational stability is hugely underrated.

If Tua can play 14 or more games this team should make the playoffs and if that happens (even if they lose in the first round) … expect both to return in 2026.

The major difference is that Lynch and Shanahan have gotten the 49ers to two Super Bowls and two NFC Championship Games. They have earned the right to do it. Grier and McDaniel haven't done anything yet to deserve a chance to do it.
 
Griers not mortgaging the future because he already did.

Think about it. Half the team was free agents and we were over the cap and asking players to take pay cuts just to get cap compliant. We restructured everyone...some more than once. We're paying up this year and it's a mini rebuild. And that means we must hit on our draft picks this year.

Yeah, mostly this.

But everyone on this forum will understand the Dolphins much better when they realize the football side of the program is run by 110 IQ betas who survive by finding other people to blame for the team’s failures. My guess is that the current brain trust has found the perfect blameless victim: Tua’s weird propensity for concussions.

So now, through no fault of anyone in the front office, we need to spend a few years retooling what otherwise surely would’ve been a championship contender to get away from Tua’s contract and the aged veterans brought in to get him over the hump.

This.

Everyone acting like this is a “prove it” year for McDaniel and Grier is coping. There is no chance this is how we’d approach the offseason if this were a “prove it” season. And there’s also no way Ross would keep Grier and McDaniel but handcuff them so badly that they can’t sign a single major free agent — what would be the point of giving them another year?

Grier and McDaniel are preparing for a post-Tua, post-Tyreek, post-Ramsey rebuild. That is the only way to interpret our free agency approach.

I hope this is not the case
