Just one important piece to roster construction. Staley’s vision is much closer to becoming a reality. After 1st season now second offseason it’s nearly complete. Franchise QB still on his rookie deal is huge, should give Texans hope as well. If Mills proves he is the franchise Caserio and Lovie can go all in.
This is first time I’ve seen it happen so strategically & quickly (2 years) from beginning. Stunning really how they were able to turn it around, weakness into strength, balance and depth with players who fit their scheme.
Early 53 man projected Charger roster and yes, in this scenario, Khalil Mack will put them over the top and beyond divisional match-up. (Bold-6 Rookies Red-13 Free Agents Blue Former Texans)
