But these guys will be expensive, and deserve it.

Doubtful that's how that works. Everyone understands some teams are just often dumb and probably negotiate accordingly.

Malik Jackson got 6yr/$85.5m ($14.25m/yr) back in 2016 from the Jags and now 6 years later Larry Ogunjobi got $750k/yr less and people still think it was an overpay despite the cap having jumped from $155m to $208m in that time span.

Heck, the Browns gave Zeitler $12m/yr back in 2017 when the cap was $167m. Roughly Zeitler-equivalent guards are going for $9-10m/yr right now 5 years later.
