I'll ask you the question I asked callers yesterday.

Jeremy Fowler did this kind of tiers of the 18 non-playoff teams.

And Tier 1 was, you know, don't panic, you know, all as well. And in that category were teams like Baltimore, Kansas City, and Detroit.

And then he had essentially a few moves away.

Washington was not in that group.

Cincinnati was, Dallas was, Tampa was, Minnesota was, and I'm

forgetting who the other team was. And then they were in their own category, Washington was,

and it was more contention or reset. And I asked callers, I said, which category of the three

that I'm creating here with the help of

Jeremy Fowler would you pick? Don't panic, a few moves away, or many moves away. And contention

is defined as a playoff team next year with like 10 plus wins in a playoff team. Which of those

tiers would you put the team into?

Well, obviously, we're assuming injuries are really reasonable.

So putting that aside, a few moves away.

I mean, the defense could be a lot of moves away,

but I'll say a few because, you know, look, and take in terms of the whole totality of both sides of the ball, you know, if we get healthy years from Jaden Daniels and Terry McCorn and the offensive line holds up the way it mostly did last year, and, you know, reasonable whether they resign Debo, Samuel, they add some other receiver

and for agency, or maybe they even use the number seven pick on the offense.
