Let’s, for a moment, pretend we are a wildly successful Super Bowl–winning head coach with some gas left in the tank. We love the energy of being around a football team, the players and coming to work every day. We would like to win a second Super Bowl before we commit to life in a Jimmy Buffet village. The only problem? While still quite talented, our roster is headed into the thorns.
Cap tightness. Quarterback questions. General aging. What we’ve built has a window of potency, and that window could be closing. At the very least, it’s slightly less ajar than it was two or three years ago.
