Keep in mind this thread and all of our banter here means nothing. No need to stress out about folks not seeing eye to eye with you.

I’m in the camp that we have too many holes to fill to over pay the man. You overpay when your window is now...our window closed.

A few things concerning that final statement.

1. Doug and Dave are in "win now mode" for the sake of their careers. Their only window is now. 
2. This statement simply does not apply to premier positions and/or premier players in free agency. 
They always get overpaid regardless. The only question is whether you can afford it. Not what "mode" you think you are in. What mode is your cap in? 
3. Many of the holes we have to fill are MUCH easier to fill than replacing what Yannick Ngakoue brings to the table. 
Finding a nose tackle, right guard and free safety is child's play compared to replacing 50 pressures, 9 sacks, 20 QB hits, and 3 forced fumbles per year. 

Just make a couple of easy cuts, pay him, and move on to fixing the other stuff.
