It’s it possible to completely get rid of a roster?

Yeah. Start pulling for another team.

Just frustration coming out from seeing the same thing week after week. That would never happen.

I’ll be a fan until I die.

It's possible to get rid of a lot of a roster but you have to be willing to possibly lose a lot of games. Then again look at the Falcons, they got rid of a ton of dead weight in Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Deion Jones and have a younger team with more draft picks and tons of cap space next year, and yet they are as/more competitive than us. The cap hits they took to get rid of Ryan and Jones cost them the opportunity to sign amazing players like Landry and Mathieu and forced them to try young mid round picks with upside, but sometimes that works better. I think that with good coaching we could do the right thing and use any cap flexibility we have to get rid of bad contracts not sign shaky vets like Landry and Mathieu, and still be surprisingly competitive. But if we allow ourselves to be ruled by fear like Loomis does, then we F the future and put everything toward keeping and acquiring questionable aging vets under the false premise that this is the only way we can 'win now.'
