If you're going to pull the band-aid off, might as well do it quickly.
Credit to Newsome, though - he's doing a great job of doing what has to be done. The worst thing he could do is chase guys that are getting that SB bump in FA. That would prolong the inevitable decline that comes on the heels of long winning eras.
Right now he has the glow of a SB on him and his fans. They'll be elated for 2 years. Get your house in order by not overpaying for guys, let the roster atrophy a little and then rebuild in a few seasons. Hell, by then Flacco won't have the luster he has now and you can re-structure his deal to reasonable terms.
I'm not saying they had much of a choice, but yeah, they're going to be bad soon and they'll need to go through an extensive rebuild. At least for them, their rebuild came after a championship and didn't waste the primes of half the team's best players.
**** you, Scooter.
