They refused. why?
Purposefully inflating the cap gives them an excuse to close the wallet. Which is exactly what they’ve done.
It’s cool to be happy they signed our guys to those LTCs, but don’t be fooled. They’re still cheap.
You may indeed end up being right. But it is premature at the moment. We don't know the wallet is closed yet. Trey coud get extended. Another G could get signed. Some more cuts could be made (Moss, Volson, etc). Burrow could restructure.
Paying Trey and restructuring Joe also means more cash flow into this year. Another explanation for not minimizingvtge cap hits this year for Tee/Chase to the fullest extent is that thatcalso costs cash outflow. And Mikey just cannot do all of them at once.
You may call that cheap, but it also could be true. It is only cheap if you can afford it and choose not to.
I think there will be at least one more FA signing. Of a value nature. Probably a G. Maybe even 2. Though it could be pist-draft. And I think a Trey extension is more probable than not. A Burrow restructure would surprise me. But he won't do it until after Trey is extended, even if Brown is willing.
