They essentially will produce one good year sometime over the span of this contract and based on injuries and other factors sometimes it's early and sometimes it's late but it is RARE, even for the most elite, to produce more than one good year after 30 over the last 10 years.
Odds are that out of Trey, Garrett, and Watt one may have multiple good years left in them and it's most likely Garrett because of the age. It would however not be surprising if none of the break 10 sacks again though just looking at historical outputs. Which is always the issue with paying players based on past performance, it is not an indicator of future success especially late in careers.
Forget a cliff, Trey would have to fall into the Grand Canyon this year to make me not want him out there. They might have to pay for some lesser years but aren’t they all in? They paid big $ to the offensive stars so pay Trey. He may suck in 3 years but oh well. Try something new and go for it while you have studs at the key positions.
I also have no proof of this but I think he may age a little better than others because he’s not an athletic freak. He probably uses more effort/technique than the other guys because he’s not as physically gifted. I think this may benefit him as he ages because he’s doesn’t rely on the athleticism as much.
