However, they have really saved big time by not having to pay on the offensive line for these veterans over the next several years. We also don't know exactly the revenues being shared (thus expanding the cap) from the gambling deals being struck. I would think it has to be a mammoth amount.
When we look at the deals top QBs were getting just a short while ago, a $30 million dollar annual deal seemed crazy, but when you factored that as a % of the total cap space, I don't think the $50 million per year deals will blow that % out of the water. Paying what could be $75 million to your top 3 WRs may seem impossible, but if they make cheaper deals (through the draft, most likely) for their backup WRs and entire TE group, it may be possible. I know you don't want to cut too many corners, but you see what I am thinking. Tee's deal will be the one that sets the table. If he gets one, it may be possible. We know Burrow and Chase aren't going anywhere.
And, yes, I love Tee's size and his overall game. Perfect complement to Chase and Boyd.
Funny how we think the same, we have to cut little parts out of each others posts ha ha
I think this is what we saw in this Draft. Draft our Corners and Safeties for the future so we don't have to pay major dough
to the vet Secondary players. Lou is a really good Secondary coach who can coach up the young guys quickly. This could make
some of the things we hope possible in bringing ALL our guys back even if it seems impossible. Yah never know.
Saints had NO cap room at all and somehow went all out in FA...
