Then why is he still counting $15.9M towards the cap?
Quote:I dont care if he hadnt dropped a pass in the last 5 years, this is the game it counted - how many drops did Kupp have late in the 4th?
Can you tell me we dont have a better chance to win the super bowl with a $10M RG and Trent Taylor in the slot than Tyler Boyd and his bad game?
Do you really think it smart to pay WR3 more than 4 starting lineman combined on the worst oline the SB has ever seen?
Do you really think 4.3 electric slot cannot be as effective with the same 4 catches per game? Granted less experience and less emergency help if Boyd or Higgins goes down but still 5 years younger, waaaaay faster, and 9M cheaper.
Why don’t we review what I wrote before . . .

Tag and trade Bates and the Bengals save $12M.
In 2021, a top 5 S started at $14M average per year. Top 5 C $10.5M. Top 5 LG $10.8M. Top 5 RG $9M. Top 5 RT $17M.
If it is me and I can get an equivalent quality player at a position of need for less that allows me to apply the savings elsewhere.
In other words, sign a Top 5 RG for less than a Top 5 S and draft a new S for less. Use the savings elsewhere or at least roll it over.
