They have a rookie QB on the way. Notice just about all their signings are on the defense. The obvious plan is to keep games low scoring. The last thing you want is a rookie QB having to sling the ball 35+ times due to big deficits all season.
To make matters worse he'll play just good enough to keep us out of the top 15 (for what is shaping up to be a generational QB draft) if we decide to not give him a new deal. We are fugged either way.
