It always amazes me the Ravens never have any cap money, yet they always seem to grab some vet after the draft. Time Katie gets creative and takes a lesson from the Ravens.
Get er done Katie.
Update, just read he only was due around 8 million in 2020 so no reason we can't afford him.
For a guy blaming Katie Blackburn for everything, you're vastly overshooting the mark on how much we should offer him. He was due 7.75m, but the Saints already paid 750k of that, so any team could've traded for him for 7m. But nobody did, suggesting that as the ceiling on his FA market. But you want to give him at least 24m over the next three years?
More like one year, 4-5 million. He was cut because Payton wasn't happy that he couldn't keep his weight down. He made the pro bowl on reputation. I'm all in favor of bringing him in, but the worst way to do that would be to give him a multi-year deal. A one year deal incentivizes him to stay in shape (if he can't keep in shape during normal conditions what does quarantine do) to set himself up for the future.
Criticize management all you want but at least know what you're talking about!
