Not necessarily. He could have a serious injury. Would think his agent wants to get the big money sooner rather than later.

Is there a way we can cut Hitchens and Fisher and save $$? If so, i’d start there.

To be fair, he is really good at that one trick. He changes the face of a game.

But I agree that we may need to trade him if it means getting some picks while also retaining the money to keep our depth. Overall, depth seems more important to the benefit our defense.

We also need to see what our players are asking for first. Because one way or another, I don't think we can afford more overpays. It has to be fair value at the least.

This is what I'm hoping for. I hope there are some good vets willing to come here on a discount.

This. He could get tagged and maybe he goes along with it but a long term deal with his value will be nearly impossible.

Even if we get him at a major discount, back-loaded contract with less up front, etc. don't see how we sign him and Pat in the next 2 years with what Pat will get (and deserves).

My guess is we trade Jones before the draft and get some value for him and free up cap space.

Who are you putting in Fisher's spot? All of their losses this season happened with him on the sideline with injury. Undefeated with him in the lineup.

According to Whitlock and Wiley they said that a former GM told them that Mahomes agent will not allow Mahomes to play next year unless a new deal is signed

Nope. Veach restructured both of their contracts

Yeah lets leave the blind side open to career injury to our 50 million a year QB. After all elite LT's grow on trees. Fish is getting older sure but he isn't out to pasture yet. Who do we have to replace on our roster?

We’re still paying Berry 8 mil this season :)

Watkins is the worst we can cut and save the most at 14 mil

LDT we would save about 5 mil

Kelce we can save 10 mil.

That’s it

Jones is most definitely coming back on a fat backloaded deal with signifcicant performance escalators and a decent bonus the first couple of years, If they do mahomes early - jones gets the tag. My prediction, we sign Jones to a five year deal worth 70 mil guaranteed, if he makes it to year five and collects all the bonuses its worth close to $130,000,000. We get to the next cba and sign Mahomes for an 7 year 40+ mil a year contract worth over 300 million dollars with incentives - more than half of which is guaranteed. It's too much money for a goddamned superbowl championship. We pay these guys too much money to play a stupid game, all that money could be going to cure cancer, fix the environment, feed people who don't have enough to eat, help those with mental illness, explore space, fix the roads, the schools or grow food. When it comes to this football shit, we are being pretty ****ing stupid. Maybe now that we won one we as chief consumers should demand lower prices for our fandom and the nfl investing in the health safety and future of the country instead of the pockets of guys who can play football good for a few years. I love the sport, I love our team, but I love America and all of her people more. These contracts, the idiotic speeches, all this other bullshit can go **** itself.

It's a smart approach, especially since he already had a scary injury this season. Goff/Wentz have set a standard that the QB has to be paid after year 3.

It's a mother****ing game, but life isn't. Too much money and hype for something that ain't that important.

If you hate it so much, why are you here posting about it? Quit wasting your time with something that doesn't matter.
