Watkins is gone. We just have to hope we get something in return because cutting him shouldn’t be an option.

so you'd be fine with extending him and paying him an average of 2 million less per year than he's scheduled to get next year but stretching it out longer?


that doesnt make much sense to me.

That would make his first year (this year) cap hit drop by about 10m and keep future hits manageable.

Do that and get Jones inked to 5/90

Cut LDT

Re-sign Wis and Pennel...extend Fish and Kelce to clear space.

Draft well.

Repeat championship and aim for next offseason to get Mahomes done.

The cap is going to explode in the new CBA with tons of new money rolling in.

Of course I am.

I’m pushing it into years when the cap will explode and there will be a lot more money.

By then deals like Chris Jones for 18-20 will be a fantasy.

Right now the cap is 200m.

In 4-5 years it’s going to be 280-300m.

yep, its going to explode. and so are all the salaries.


no reason to push any money that isnt mahomes

If they decide to exempt the QB salary from the cap (which they should)...none of this matters.

Would this have its own separate cap? If it's wide open the big market teams can buy whom ever they want...

Any long term deal we get done before the cap explodes will end up a huge bargain when the “money hits” while keeping the current team stacked with talent.

Brett Veach knows this.

He’s going to knock this offseason out the park. There’s a reason they all know they’re winning next years SB.

Watch.
