Twitter: Sturm: Here is where DLaw is getting his numbers

Cant trade him unless he signs the tag

Usually in these situations you find a trading partner, everyone agrees to terms, he signs his tag and then the trade goes down.

Just because Chicago overpaid doesn't mean we have to. You can cherry pick stats for all the high caliber players and compare them to the highest salaries at their respective positions and pay them accordingly but if you do you are left with 4 or 5 stars and a roster full of low paid players.

I have no doubt that Dlaw, Cooper, Zeke, Jones, Jaylon, Amari, Frederick, Martin, Tron, and even Dak can urge their agents to cherry pick stats and make the case that they each belong amongst the highest paid at their respective positions.

If they are all that damn good then why can't they win more?

If DLaw is being offered 20 mil per year which is the highest salary a DE has ever been offered in the NFL and he is not happy with that then trade his azz and send a message to the next round of contract seekers that we will offer you a fair salary but we cannot afford to break the bank for any one player when we have so many deserving.

Right. Chicago paid that much because they traded two 1st rounders for him. What else were they going to do? That doesn't necessarily set the market. We don't know if there are teams out there willing to pay Tank 22.5 M a year.
