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?

I get what you're saying here. But I'm more looking to an example of how they would split up the cap hit on all 3 if they are on longterm deals.

Assume Chase gets 5 years at $43 mil per year. Higgins gets 4 at $30 mil per year. Assume Trey gets 4 years at $40 mil per year.

I believe those are roughly their going rates? So how do they use their 28 million in cap space to make that work?

What do their cap hits look like each year for each player to make it work?

The first thing I would want to know is what the total cap space they would have (this year) with their current deals being erased, then how the cap hit looks year to year for all 3.
