These are the upper limits for these positions, none of these guys are elite in their respective position, and w the exception of Pratt/Bates are nearing 30 years old, which tends to drive the prices down. IMHO we will do something like this:
1) Vonn Bell- 3/27 million- that's good money for a guy his caliber and age.
2) Hayden Hurst- 2/14 million- again he's not elite, but he works well in our system.
3) Eli Apple- 2/8 million- solid depth guy as a #3/4 if he gets offered more than move on.
4) Pratt/ Bates- we will net comp picks for 2024 as they will command too much on the open market ( 2 4ths?) and we have drafted contingency plans, just need them to perform. ( Dax, ADG)
5) all other contracts will basically be under 2 million per year so we should be ok extending a few guys this offseason after the draft. (Burrow, Higgins,Wilson)
--- its really about the guaranteed money in the contracts, and I think they do a good job managing the cap and not overpaying for non premium positions.
