Happy New Year everyone! With 2020 upon us, new hopes and dreams fill the air. With 2019 behind us, anything is possible. Of course there is still a massive dearth of talent on this team, and the next in game adjustment Gase makes will be his first. Gase’s ineptitude aside, we can still take large steps to building this team into a contender. Joe Douglas will get his first crack as a GM. I am excited to see what he can do. With some shrewd moves in free agency and a solid draft, we can be well on our way to making this team look like it belongs in this league. Before JD gets his chance to shine, here is my pre-combine off-season plan.
