I'm guessing you mean they could do some contract gymnastics? But if I put my GM cap on 41 is priority, then figuring out what to do with Rid, then OL then Trev.

Extending Lawrence doesn't hurt the team in the short term. It can actually help them by giving them some flexibility to sign more Oline help.

I think the narrative around giving Lawrence an extension is that it would cripple the cap and that's just not the case next year. Sign Allen to his rightful contract. Sign Lawrence to his contract. 

This locks up 2 critical positions on the Jags but also doesn't hurt them financially in the short term to continue adding pieces.

Yeah I suppose Khan can use cash bonuses to offset cap hits. I'm no cap guru. Hell I barely understand half of it. Heard a bit of chatter about more wealthy owners being able to circumvent the salary cap.
If they can do it now I'm okay with it. People worried about paying Trevor based on a few bad games playing through a lot of stuff are being silly for sure.
If we can pay him, 41, and address OL, do it.
