Can he? Yes. Will he? I don't know.
I assume that Reid will be a major upgrade offensively and I assume that Sutton will be a major upgrade defensively.
The roster is most definitely more talented today than in January and many of the best players can sleep easier knowing their teammates will return next years. There's definitely a level of comfort amongst guys like Charles and Albert and Moeaki, knowing that Bowe will return.
I believe the AFC will have a down year. The Raiders won't be much improved, if at all, the Chargers won't be much improved, if at all even though Denver is signing guys right and left, I doubt they'll win 13 games next season. The
AFC isn't that weak.
So, 3-3 in the division at worst, then two to three others out of five at home.
If Reid and Dorsey and Sutton are what we think they are, then 8-8, 9-7 seems about right.
