O'Connell on final rookie contract leg; learning Kubiak system from scratch.

O'Connell, a fourth-round pick (135th overall) in the 2023 draft, is a 28-year-old on the final leg of his rookie contract; he is starting from square one with zero prior experience in Kubiak's offense, though his veteran advantage is partially offset by the newness of the system, similar to Mendoza's learning curve.
