The issue is it will be close to 40m to 50m in signing bonuses between Ja'Marr and Hendrickson and fully guaranteeing AT LEAST Chase's first couple years regular salary. So getting close to 60m to 70m in just 2024 for just those two guys. I don't think they will be big spenders in FA because of those two deals (and Tee 2026 comp pick) hopefully they can find some middle of the pack contributors like they did with guys like Chido, Larry O and Vonn Bell.
And there is nothing wrong with having a few mid tier guys in starting roles. It sure as heck beats have just a few stars and supporting cast of rookies and scrubs.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
