Creed Humphrey, I do believe he will get paid top 3 center money.

Trey Smith, I don't see him breaking the bank either he'll make solid guard money but he isn't gonna get Thuney money.

The issue is JuJu and Hardman are hitting FA in a terrible WR FA year so they're value is gonna be pushed up.

I do believe JuJu could come very close to getting 20 mill per year if he's willing to go play for like the Bears. And no he's not a 1, he's a really really good complimentary piece.

There is absolutely no way that Bolton signs for less than $15 mil a year. I'd bet my dick on that. Hitchens got $9 mil/yr from us and by the time Bolton gets paid it'll be like 7 years since Hitchens got his contract. Bolton is worth substantially more and then with how contracts increase basically every year, that puts him at $15 mil/yr at the bare minimum. If we don't pay him that someone will.
