This offseason you’re seeing way more restraint. And not a coincidence it’s a year where guys like Herbert, hurts and hell even guys like Daniel jones now have to get paid. It’s why guys like DHop stayed on the market for a million years. It’s why every rb is holding out. Teams are resetting the market because QBs are taking up way more payroll. Chris jones’ agent is playing by old rules. If he was on the market a year or 2 ago, maybe, but this year he’d be harder pressed to find anyone who’d give him Aaron Donald money. Because Donald was paid at a very different time from a team who was desperate to win ASAP.

Yes. The NFL landscape forever changed when Mahomes signed his goliath deal. Now every single "good" QB is taking up a huge chunk of the cap and teams can no longer pay their other marquee players. Dhop is a great example but Jones is even better one. Also, GMs are looking at the Rams and Tampa and don't want to be in the dumpster after a couple of years of contending. I believe Veach wants to mirror the Pats as much as he can but the QB market is not going to allow him to be. He is going to have get even more creative than Bill had to IMO.
