We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.
What do we expect Chris Jones to get on his new deal? Fletcher Cox's average salary of $17m was 11% of the 2016 salary cap. Aaron Donald's average salary of $22.5m was 12.7% of the 2018 salary cap.
Maybe $18-20m per year for Jones? $18m would be about 9.5% of the 2019 salary cap. $20m would be 10.5% of the current cap. That's still lower than Cox's 11% at the time he signed. [Reply]

I won’t be surprised by $20M+.
It doesn’t help when guys like CJ Mosley are getting $17M. [Reply]
