It's not a choice to be bad. It's a necessity that, for one year, they had to tighten their belts and get financially healthy again. They keep Shelton and Copeland, etc. while enhancing the coaching staff and making a very prudent draft with 14 picks. Just the way it had to go.
2024 will be different. Not that they should be major spenders. But they'll have the same (cap space and draft) ammo everyone else does. Right now they have the 12th most cap space in 2024. Could add $10M more if they move on from Noteboom and Allen next spring.
