A good perspective of giving Tee the big money extention

Stafford, Kupp and Allen Robinson accounted for 38% of the 2022 rams cash spend.

Let’s make this very simple: Cash is real money; cap is simply accounting.

Cash is what a player will actually receive in a contract. Cap is a mechanism of compliance, a way NFL teams account for a contract over the life of the deal.

2.  Comparing old Reggie Wayne to in his prime tee higgins is silly.

3.  This is the last year before burrows contract hampers us.  Tagging tee is the right first move.  Trading or keeping him is what the team needs to decide.  A year of tee, with burrow in his prime, has value.  Obviously trading him has value.  Extending him has value.  Letting him walk for nothing has no value.

And Tampa had Brady, Evans, and Godwin in 2020.

So since 2019 3 teams have derailed the KC dynasty (Rams/Bucs/Bengals) and they all had something in common.

A franchise QB and 2-great WRs. 

I get folks want to keep throwing money at the oline, but our money may be better spent maintaining our strengths.
