Then, you’re in place the following year to have a #1 overall pick and you can replace the GM and be able to attract a good GM that Payton can work with that will have a lot of cap space and a ton of valuable draft picks to work with.
It’s a painful 2 years, but it’s the only way to have a chance to compete in 3-5 years.

They are stuck with russel for a long time. Cutting him would destroy their cap.
