The main determining factor will be the cap percentage each of them will take up, reducing the amount of remaining cap to allocate to the rest of the team.
You have other impactful guys coming up for extensions in the next few years as well:
- Even McPherson (how long have we wanted a long-term kicker, especially one that we don't have to worry about having the leg to make a 50 yarder consistently?)
- Ted Karras
- DJ Reader
- BJ Hill (will Carter take that jump this year or next?)
- Logan Wilson
- Alex Cappa
- Jonah Williams
- La'el Collins
You're going to have at least a couple OL to worry about and probably 2 if not 3 of the Front 7 on the defense.
This is my personal opinion, but I think it's easier to draft a good WR2 and have him contribute quickly than it is finding good OL/DL and contribute quickly.
Of all those guys listed, I think only Reader could maybe get a 1 year extension, but doubtful.
Other than that I think only Cappa and Wilson will be getting resigned. Maybe Karras if he is cheap.
It's easy to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with grey.
