We'd probably get a minimum of 2 high round picks for him. You can't keep him and Ngakoue at those prices and I'd much rather have Yannick. We still have Bouye and I'd likely target a CB in the first round in next season's draft as a replacement. When you have this much talent, you're going to have to choose between keeping some and trading some to stay under the cap. To me, pass rushers will always take precedence over a CB.

You can pretty easily keep Yannick and Ramsey at those prices. Our cap is very malleable and outside of a handful of players nobody we need to commit to past 2022. This is like the scaremongering people did last season about the cap and Cousins.

And passing on Cousins was the right decision. It's not scaremongering. We're running out of big contracts to get rid of and we're close enough to the cap limit where spending an average of $20 million per player on two guys is nearly impossible. Between Foles, Ramsey and Yannick we'd have over $60 million per year invested in 3 players. That would leave about $125 million to field the rest of the entire team (50 more players.) I just don't see that happening.
