What I'm wondering is how much cap space we have, and some sort of example of how we could re-sign all three and make it work under the cap this year.
If I were to see an example of how it would work then it would be easy to see how much excess they have to spend if any.
If they sign Higgins to a long term deal, they likely gain at least 16 million If they trade him, they gain 26 million so lets' say we sign him to a long deal.
Chase, if we extend him, we can gain 12 million.
Burrow, if we restructure him we can gain and 25 million.
So, we keep all 3 and we gain 53 million additional cap dollars for 2025.
We currently have around 28 million after all of the re-signing and adds in FA whch incudes our 2025 draft pick allocation.
28 + 53 = 81 million left to extend Trey (don't have to do it, he is under contract) and spend another 50 million to build the trenches at guard and at DE/Edge
We have a ton of money if we push to future years. But, how much will they be willing to push down the road?

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
