A $20 million cap charge for any single player probably takes a veteran LT out of the equation. And if it doesn't, it definitely means you're needing another MASSIVE rookie class contribution in addition to more fringe roster types on the squad at the league minimum.
Forget retaining Thornhill - you may struggle to hold on to someone like Saunders as that point.
We just cannot spend like sailors here. If you're paying $20 million for a WR, you'd better be REALLY sure he moves the needle. Enough that you're willing to get weaker at other spots on the roster to justify it.

Okay, say i agree with you on all of that (no reason not to, just not going to do the due diligence myself), then how were we going to afford paying JJSS close to $125-$18M/yr? Or maybe you're saying that we were never going to do that either?
