I am fairly worried if it doesn’t work out with Jones that it might damage some good faith in the locker room. The locker room seems to be an all time high.

Dorsey was ****ing shit at contracts.

No argument about Dorsey there.
I did this exercise with my Hill thread. If you look through the highest paid contracts at every position they don’t look like a good deal. Hell Donald even didn’t have a great year this year.
I go back to the productivity per unit Salary Cap just doesn’t seem very good at all in any position other than good QBs. That’s perhaps exacerbated by all the first round bounces where the other team mitigates our good guy and he produces ****ing nothing in a first round bounce. But that doesn’t change the fact that if you paid for a dude that didn’t produce very much more than a dude half his price.
