Poking The Bear

Also they're contracts will be ending when its time to sign some of the other big names. I think we need to spend big this free agency and go all in. Mainly just keep our group intact but get and OL or two to free up the draft outside of RD 1. 

Im not saying it is their fault or they are not talented.  It just is what it is and we cannot have it all - high priced line and high priced skill players, where do you cut? That awesome defense?  No way.

We need to think big picture, we have some huge contracts coming up in the next few years. If we use Boyd and Mixon cash money now to sign really good players and front load them they have less impact when it comes time time to extend Jonah, Tee, Lbers, Joe and Chase.

If we just keep these large salaries til they end, as you suggest, we are forced to spread new oline money out evenly - we will be in a financial quagmire, drastic cuts will be required to keep the star rookies in a couple years. 

We need to build sustained success. Unless the slot is Kupp or Hill there is no argument to pay that spot $10M per year the next couple of years. There are too many athletes that can play slot, and even RB for that matter.
