If you do a Jones extension, then he's sitting anywhere from $26-30 million for cap hits.
And people can sit there and claim to "just keep drafting!" but as of right now...last year was an anomaly. GMs don't draft that many starters in a draft like that. Would it be awesome if Veach kept doing that? **** yes. But to bank on that while you fill the roster with huge contracts is a great way to kill a dynasty before that shit ever starts.

Again, I'm focusing on the next two years, because its kinda silly to really worry about what this team is going to look like in 2025.
Don't sneeze at the 16M OBJ number. A third of that covers Taylor this year. I understand that in 2024 that's a different story. Then there is the Thuney which is another significant post of money to open up to use on the Line.
And if you are wanting to talk about 2025, its sand to think about but you are probably not paying Travis Kelce. I don't know why we are going to get so uptight about 2025, when we could win two more Super Bowls before then.
