Manning + Harrison + Wayne were taking up 20-25% the first two years that are being compared. Burrow + Higgins + Chase would be taking about 31-34% That is a huge difference. It also ignores the fact Perrotta would push Chase's cap hit to 39.5 million in 2028 and 2029 at a time when Burrow's cap hit would be 53.5 million and 68.5 million. All this is assuming the salary cap takes a big jump in the next few year and you actually get 4 good years out of Tee hoping his hamstring can hold up. It's just a bad way to manage the cap
Lol, it was one guy’s suggestion backed up with actual numbers and a comparable scenario. Much more realistic than your forced trade of Tee with next year’s draft picks.
The Bengals will likely be as conservative as possible, so it doesn’t really matter.
