Kind of how like nobody else was going to sign a suspended Taylor Mays.

Or playing time to that position? When it happens, it's never good. IE Whitworth & Smith, Spikes & Simmons, Sanu & Jones, not that all those players were drafted back to back, but you can never just keep both.

Yes, I am sure that the Jags are really crying over the fact they got both Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns the same year. Worrying about "how do you devote all that money to one position" before they're even drafted is ridiculous. They would have a minimum of 4 years on their rookie deal. So you're worrying about a problem that *IF* it showed up, it wouldn't show up until the 2020 season.

At that point, AJ Green would be a free agent heading into his age 32 season anyway. Chad Johnson was 32 in his last season with the Bengals. 4 seasons prior to that he was coming off a Pro Bowl, All-Pro, and leading the NFL in receiving yards. Declines can happen quick.

As a matter of fact, there is only a single player on the entire team who is under contract for the 2020 season right now, and that's Andy Dalton, who would be a FA the very next year. THAT is the ridiculous scenario you're worrying about. Something 5 years from now. Reminds me of how the Bengals were "saving" cap space for Dalton, Green, and Gresham's extension after the 2011 season. Lol..

Do what you need to in order to win now, worry about the future when it comes. Otherwise you'll never win.
