The organization's recent history of injury-plagued and inconsistent play is largely viewed as an outlier, and the current roster remains fully capable of contending for a postseason spot in 2027.

Spending & Strategy

Financial flexibility and past aggressiveness in high-profile free-agent markets provide a strong foundation for continued competitiveness, regardless of potential future salary cap implementations.
