? Or, even better, instead of getting rankins for $13 per, give Christian Wilkins $28 with the 13 from Rankin and 15 from These guys below. Are we a better team with Wilkins and Hill at DT, or these guys below and Rankin. And we still have money left over to sign players, so it’s not even an either/or.

Irwin - 2M
sample- 3M
Bell- 1M
Moss- 4M
Geisiki-3M
Gaither - 3M



We were sitting on a pile of cap space and we upgraded at S and TE, and will most likely be losing Tee. Does this even seem possible? Oh forgot to mention we have no RT.

I don’t even know where to start. Are you saying you rather have signed Wilkins and no one listed above? Our TE room would be empty, our RB more expensive (tbd on production), and some other veteran contributors/leaders to the team?

In a vacuum I do understand your frustration, but until we see how that money is allocated… hard to say if we have done a good job or not. This FO will never get into a bad cap situation… period. Maybe an extension for tee is going to come, but they need to see what available cap that they have this year. Same goes for Chase, but with him having two years left… much less important to 2024 Cap.

If Christian Wilkins was the end all/be all like some are saying… wouldn’t they have locked him up like the chiefs locked up
Chris jones?
