Here is the thing … Jon Allen is in the last year of his contract. Da'ron Payne has two years to go, so 2021. Ironman is signed through 2022 with a max contract of $8.25 million. If they draft Chase Young and he truly is a generational player he will be due his big contract after 2023 ….. I'll let you do the math. Meanwhile Landon Collins will be about $17 million.

I am sure we pick up the options on Payne and Allen

what we need to do is be frugal in FA and continue to draft well . Keep our guys BEFORE signing other teams ash and trash

Not sure why people want us to bring back the full OLine? You mean the OLine is constantly injured and the RT who is a human matador?

Sign Conklin at RT and bring in Thuney at Guard. Those are upgrades. Bring back Flowers at a reasonable deal or let Martin take over and see if Trent stays one more year. If not, we then trade back and pick up a LT in the 1st round.

I think we should look at Simmons in FA for FS but he could cost too much. We need to cut/trade more players to get more cap room.

I would rather keep guys if they are very good players. We all know the NFL and you can't always keep everyone so keeping the right one is what you want to do.

Right now the big money players are. Smith, Collins, Williams, Kerrigan, Reed and I think I might be missing one. Most will be gone in two years. Will have to wait and see how the DL guys, McLaurin, Haskins etc develop and of course someone like Chase Young.

Finding the right guys in the 1st and 2nd round is important but good teams find guys like Ironman, Cousins, McLaurin a little later. Then managing their salaries becomes important so you don't screw up like they did with Cousins.

i dont see where we have an issue . we have plenty of cap space and could get more with the new CBA

I don't believe I said issue. I think I was talking about what the possibilities could be with 3 number ones on the DL. But we'll just wait and see. :D
