slight qualm, Face.
It’s not a first + 20M or Jones.
Part of the 20 has to pay the salary of the first round pick. Depending on where, it could be 3 or 4 mil. So it’s not a huge deal but I think ogbah makes less than that so it isn’t immaterial.

We need to get out of this thought-process of keeping expensive talent because the team will struggle without one guy.
The only guy this team can't lose is Mahomes. The rest are all moveable pieces.

I’ve been barking up this tree awhile. Jones has endeared himself to me, especially if he’s below Donald money. But on the whole this is where I am. And honestly I don’t think the DL can have Clark AND Jones.

I just think the piece that everyone always ignores in discussions like this is that the salary BUYS OTHER PLAYERS, so any discussion of what you would trade should also consider the difference in cap hit and what else we might be able to do with it.

Like I said, I’ve been barking up this tree awhile.
I’d rather have solid if unspectacular players at every position than a BAMF and schmucks.
If you have a part of your defense that is consistently exploitable, you’re ****ed. Granted a fair percentage of coaching staffs are too stupid to take advantage but the ones that can will be there when it matters.
Also, RE: Spags Giants DLs that were chalk full of good dudes, IIRC it was one dude getting paid then rookie contracts. So there wasn’t a ton of money there.
