One of the issues with Gruden was that the league insisted on this being handled as a “trade” - we sent two first rounder and two 2nd rounders to Oakland for Gruden.

Those 4 premium draft picks cost Gruden a lot of starting caliber talent. His cap space was also fairly limited, he somehow put together some decent offensive FA signings, but had limitations in draft picks and FA’s. Bruce almighty wasn’t a great GM.

Likewise, Bowles inherited the credit card bill for the Brady salary cap expenditures/limitations. That cost Bowles some free-agent flexibility to replace aging defensive starters - not to mention the flubs on premium draft picks.
