Agreed.  He is the PERFECT complement to Chase, has insane high-point ability, and is a high-character guy.  

People will scream that YOU CANT HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY IN THREE PLAYERS.  Sure you can.   Most teams in the NFL will be the same way.  Now, most teams won't have all three on offense, and maybe not two in the same position, but most teams will have three players taking up $100 million of their cap.

Ravens:  Lamar, Roquan Smith, Ronnie Staley:  $94 million (Note:  they also have $20 million per tied up in Humphry)

Browns:  Watson, Garrett, Ward:  $91 million (Note:  Also paying $20 million per to Amari Cooper)

steelers:  Watt, Fitzpatrick, Johnson:  $65 million (Have a QB on a rookie deal).

Around the NFL teams that have had recent success:

Chiefs:  Mahomes, Jones, Taylor:  $85 million  (Note:  Mahomes at $45 million per now seems like a steal)

Rams:  Stafford, Donald, Cupp:  $95 million

Eagles:  Hurts, Brown, Johnson:  $95 Million
