Yup.
Keep 'em both and it's a WR in the first, OL in the 2nd and likely a run-it-back season next year.
Unless you structured the Jones deal really aggressively in the hopes of milking another run out of the Kelce era. And that's defensible, but if you do that, replacing Kelce in 2-3 years is gonna be AWFULLY hard with the Jones cap/dead cap charge hanging around.
Honestly, if they win the SB, I'm just gonna say "**** it" and push as many chips into the middle as is necessary for 2024 and a three-peat season. It would TOTALLY change my calculus.
Because you're only ever 1 year of eating shit away from a clean cap sheet. You can push for 2 more after this one and just grab your ankles in 2026.
Brady went 10 years between rings and still won 7. I'm almost always a 'slow and steady' team builder but if there's a 3-peat on the line, full speed ahead boys! Damn the torpedoes!
