Now, we have a ton of young talent who are gonna want to get paid (and rightfully so,) but we're not gonna have the cap room to pay everyone. I desperately wanna keep Yannick. He's my favorite player, but ultimately, we're gonna lose a "star" player or two, because we just don't have the cap room. Whether that be Yannick Ngakoue, Jalen Ramsey, Myles Jack or a combination of two of those players, is anyone's guess at this point. At this point, I just stand pat and keep Ngakoue under his current deal and worry about it after the season. I'd love to lock him into a new deal, but at this point, I just don't think it would be smart, from an economics standpoint.

Pay Yan. Pay Ramsey. See if you can work something out with Jack and if not, let him go.

If we pay Yannick top 5 money, (which is likely what he's gonna want,) I guaranteed Ramsey is gonna wanna be the highest paid CB in the league. Right there, we won't have enough money to pay both. Even if we cut Telvin and Dareus, we're likely gonna have to decide between Ngakoue and Ramsey. I just don't see us being able to keep both and still be able to field a competitive team around our stars.
