Maybe it's more wise to invest big money in a player like him and then go after a guy like Bozeman or Jones to play center on a lesser deal? If Brown and Jensen are off the market, as you said, the other OL players available might not worth going after. It's interesting to think about from the perspective of what Duke and Zac have to decide.
JC's guaranteed money will be more of a factor than his salary in my opinion. CB's are right behind QBs in demanding large guarantees. DO we really want to add 40-60M to that escrow that is about to jump 150M after this season? Thats a lot of cash.
Jensen is not off the market but will be expensive salary wise, not really guaranteed money problems like a JC. Bozeman then becomes the #1 option for everyone, is younger and his price rises. Jones may be an option even though he is a power blocker and older.
It would be great if we had any idea what those guys are thinking. To be fair they are very limited compared to other teams, like the Rams who could really go for it, cap be damned, because they can restructure contracts with a ton of bonus money which comes directly from the billionaire owner in future seasons. We get in cap hell we will be the Saints & Bucs of the 70's for a long while.
