I know TC doesn't like all of this talking about it. But they need to pay and keep these keystone players. Yannick an d Jalen need to be of the highest priority.

This is not the year for the team to extend Jalen. You have to consider the cap and Yan is the one they need to address this year.  Jalen is locked up for two years and down the road, the cap will increase and the team will be in a much better place to deal with Jalen.  Anyone who thinks they should sign him this year is just crazy.  Jalen even understands the team's position with the cap this year that's why you don't see him looking for a contract this year. We have a number of very good players who will want to be paid presents a very different problem than years past.  You can't make mistakes like extending Blake after one good season leaving the team with a cap hit that should not have happened. It will take excellent cap management going forward to keep this team together and even considering Jalen's contract this year would be disastrous.
