Let rookies play immediately to avoid “contender purgatory” and push toward a championship window—even as star receiver Justin Jefferson ages. With key veterans shipped out for youth, this isn’t a rebuild—it’s an aggressive leap. The question now: can this young squad deliver a Super Bowl or at least a deep playoff run?
