You can't pay all of these guys the market rate for their performance, you start spending $20m a year on linebackers in 2025 then you probably can't afford to be paying Creed, Trey and Taylor their market value on the Oline and actually have any weapons.

Just looking at 2024 in isolation, the cap situation looks great but it takes a turn pretty quick in 2025.

You let Reid and MVS walk. You cut Thuney. You keep Creed for sure and can probably keep Smith. You extend Toney if he's proven able to keep healthy. You might well let Bolton and Gay go if Chenal can man MLB, and he probably can with little to no drop-off. They should draft a WILL next year and a SAM.

Sneed you keep unless Connor is a major hit.

It'll be ok as long as you hit on a few of these picks.
