And Sneed's just awfully difficult to replace. He's an integral part of our coverage schemes.

Exactly how I feel about Juju. Skyy and Toney are cheap for 3 years after this year.

Juju’s cap hit year 1 (2023) is low. In 2024 you can cut MVS and get $10 million back when Juju’s cap hits balloon.

But you can use a high pick to draft another WR as well.

Yup, that's probably what you'd do.

I just feel like you could probably get JJSS on something like 4/80 w/ 3/$50 being the 'meat' of the deal.

Is that cheap? No, but as was previously mentioned, it's about 2/3 of what Hill costs. Is he 2/3 as valuable as Hill? In a vacuum I'd say he isn't; the marginal upgrade from 'pretty good' to 'HOF talent' is incredibly rare and incredibly valuable. But if he comes in here and performs at a high level, he's the devil you know at that point.

So take Hill out of the conversation and just say "Is it worth $16.5 million/yr to get 1,100 yards and 7 TDs?"

Eh...market says it probably is. Teams will pay more for less in the coming years. If JJSS continues to play at that level, I think you go ahead and give him that deal.
