I do look at the skill level, and performance, and I can easily dismiss the the prior performance due to rule changes regarding marijuana.
so it comes down to priorities. I think we easily can have 35-50M in cap space with some restructuring and releases (ala 19M releasing Lawrence)....so who are the priority FAs. these 5 will be a bit pricey based on performance.I think you're right. Even if Randy gives Jerry back a few bags for supporting him, he still makes at least 15 million a year. I don't think we can afford two high priced DEs when there's 25 free agents on our team, 21 of them are playing roles on this team, about 10 of those having bigger roles. Jayron Kearse is one of them. As you know Quinn is trusting him with being his signal caller from now on. He signed for only 1.2 million, so if we keep him which I think we will if Quinn comes back, he'll get a nice raise. I have no idea about cap space and how it works but common sense tells me we will lose at least half of those FAs. Thank God we have depth this year with all those injuries, we might not see that next year unless they all want to run it back and defend their SB title.
I would keep him for the rest of his life if I would pay him 1 million dollars after every game until he was no longer worth it. Would you give him 100 million for the next 5 years with 60 million guaranteed? I strongly believe we would regret it.
You obviously have no understanding of the cap and how it works, its very complex and many variables come into play,, Im not trying to be harsh, just realistic.
Not necessarily, lets be a bit patient on how Tank adds to this defensive equation, but I do hear you if it comes down to nickels and dimes.
