I think I've been as critical of this team as anyone over the past few years, but honestly I'm not seeing a ton to dislike so far.
Sure, we have a bit of a downgrade at the backup QB spot. I think Heine is probably the best backup QB in the league. Am I going to lose a ton over him getting paid somewhere else? No. Backups come and go. Love the guy, but I think we've all learned that if the season's fortunes hang on Taylor Heinicke starting at QB, the season is already lost. Either The Kid works out or he doesn't. If he doesn't, it won't matter who the backup is.
That said, Brissett is not a terrible replacement for the spot. He's got starting experience. He wasn't terrible playing for the Browns. He's got a decent arm, so the entire offense won't have to be tailored to his skillset. He can do what a backup is supposed to do, which is come in for a few games and not suck. We could do worse there.
Like the moves on the OL. I like resigning Payne. So far, not a lot to complain about.
But the offseason is young.
