Chris Grier: Yes, absolutely. I think from Day 1, we talked about Brian (Flores) coming in and creating the culture and setting the expectations for the organization and for us, I think we’re very excited about the future. I think yesterday was a culmination of the guys’ work throughout the season. They improved each week, got better and better, and so I’m excited for the future.
Q. A year ago at this time, Stephen Ross ordered a rebuild. How would you describe the progress you made in 12 months?
CG: Very good. I talked about laying the groundwork and the foundation of trying to build something that would win for sustained success, and for us, it was very important to do that. I think Brian (Flores) and the coaching staff have done a great job of laying that foundation.
Q. You have a lot of money and a lot of draft picks to work with this offseason. Do you expect to spend the free agent money this year big or are you going to invest it in the future and build with draft picks or both?
CG: Brian and I have had conversations with (Vice President of Football Administration) Brandon (Shore) and (Vice Chairman, President & CEO) Tom (Garfinkel) and the big thing for us is we’re going to be smart about it. We’re going to build it the way we feel right and yeah, we have money and cap space, but it doesn’t mean you have to spend it all. We’re going to try to bring in a lot of players here — good players here — and keep building the roster. We’ll be very smart in how we do it.
Q. I know quarterback is going to be the topic that everybody wants to talk about. When you guys look at that from the draft and free agency standpoint, how do you look at what you need to do in 2020? Do you have to get a new one or do you look at it a different way?
