Slot:  Currently on the team, Chase/Jones.

39M for my guys in 2024


I extended Tee per Andre Perrotta extension numbers.  I can provide these.

Slot, I see Chase & Tee on the field a lot, with a revolving trio of Irwin, Jones and Iosivas at various spots.

A TE like Fant could also have us in 2 TE personnel much more and only 2 WR.  His contract is modeled after the Ted Karras structure.

Onwenu’s contract is modeled after Alex Cappa’.s deal  He can handle the RT position, however if we were to acquire one Onwenu could be a Volson or future Cappa replacement as well.  His versatility is extremely valuable.

Rock Ya-Sin could be a better than Eli Apple CB4 and could push DJ Turner.

DT is the most difficult position on this list.

 * I highly doubt that we go over 20M AAV for a guy like Chris Jones, Madubuike or Wilkins.
 
 * The Seahawks gave up 2 high picks for Leonard Williams last year and they are already in talks regarding an extension.
 
 * Grover Stewart and Sheldon Rankins will be popular, but the Colts and the Texans have more cap space than we do and they will likely keep them.

*  DJ is injured and will likely be unable to pass a physical to start the season.  A guy like Maurice Hurst (2M) could be a filler although his more a DT3 than NT.  Tufele and Tupou cannot be our only NT options.

I'm assuming for those FA contracts for Higgins, Fant, Onwenu are not their APY, right?
That's just the 2024 cap hit, with an expectation they'll be higher hits in the future years?
