Tee is making $2 million. He could be in $20-$25 mil range.
Chase is making $9 to $10 mil. He is gonna cost $25-$30 million.
Perhaps we can get creative with length and structure to minimize cap hits, but that is plus $80-$85 mil, yearly. Those 3 guys could cost $100 mil per year in 2026.
I know the cap is gonna go up, but not THAT much. $40 mil, maybe. Plus, there are some other guys who need paid or replaced (Wilson, Pratt, Bell, Hurst, Apple, etc).
Historically it has gone up about 10-12 million per year. We have roughly $40 million in cap space next year. So if you look about 6-7 years in the future, the cap should be around $300 million. If contracts are structured correctly, it's definitely possible to keep them and have a good roster.
