But I don't think your characterization of Bellichick is accurate. For many years he tried to stack talent at WR three deep. That became unnecessary once they had a future first ballot HOFer who was uncoverable down the field at TE. You got that in your back pocket, too?
The disruption and risk that you're proposing to create at WR is not worth the money you would save. There's dead cap and the cost of someone who is capable of filling that role to consider. Also, it's unlikely that the market is going to align with our needs in a way that will allow that *maybe* $4M net savings to make a difference. We're not going to remake the line in one off season.
No, keep the security blanket this coming year. If they need the money to continue making progress on the OL in 23 then I'd ask him to restructure and extend in a very cap friendly way to have the opportunity to stick with Joe.
The Chiefs totally rebuilt their oline in one year. Im looking to replace 3 guys, 2 of which couldnt start for Bama.
I think we need to take a deep dive and see where the money is.
It makes no sense to me to pay WR3 $10M the next 2 years average 4 receptions a game as we watch our franchise QB gets destroyed.
We have 2 better WR's and Joe goes to CJ and RB often. After Joe hurt his other knee, and knowing how terrible we are at drafting oline I dont see how anyone could choose overpaying a slot guy instead of better Oline.
I do like your restructure offer and would be very happy with that, as Im not slighting TBs talent but his production. (Although, dropping that pass late in 4th is a terrible look with a $10M salary while the Rams slot is catching everything to come from behind to win the SB)
