They can but that just perpetuates the dead money problem. They don’t have the cap to pay out big now whereas other teams do. It’s just adding more dead money [Reply]

He’s always hurt and will command a big contract. No thanks.
Tyreek Hill, Chris Jones and Kendall Fuller will all command big contracts in the next year or two.
Would you rather spend $35 million on those 3 while drafting cheap players or pay big contract some broke dick FA’s? [Reply]

$35 million is the cap number for 2018...not 2019. What's the point of having Hunt, Hill, Mahomes, Jones on rookie contracts if you arent going to take advantage of it.... [Reply]
After the Peters trade, we're left with the following guys from the 2015 class currently in the eligible window for contract extensions:
Morse
Conley
Nelson
RNR
Some okay players on the list, but nothing that really screams out to me that we need to get locked up early if possible.
And the more I think about it, the more we need to just let Morse walk next year. Injured too much, and his play has been too inconsistent from when he had his outstanding rookie campaign. People bitch about our inconsistent push in the run game and point to our guards so often, but it's just as much about Morse as it is them. I see Morse not being able to wall off on his run blocking too fucking much.
Fulton is probably going to find a starting job somewhere, but he's not exactly going to make Andrew Norwell money. What if we re-signed him this year and spent money now on our future starting C at a reasonable price? It could work out decently. He's not all that awful as a C, and much better than he is a guard. Our line stays stabilized that way, and we don't have to go into 2019 spending a 2nd/3rd on a starting C replacement and dealing with the potential headache of a rookie C who might not know what the hell he's doing.

Meh.
No pass rush upside. You could get run stuffers cheaper than Star.
Justin Ellis, Daquan Jones and even Mike Pennel could be value FA’s that would improve the run defense. Star is still living off his draft position. [Reply]
