That would be quite a haul.

 

You are significantly overpaying all of those players.

 

Randall Cobb said he's looking for a contract at 9 million dollars a year.  That's 3.5 million more than he's even asking for.

 

Jerry Hughes at 12 per year puts him in the top 5 for DE's.  He could very well get that, but I think he's probably around 10 million per year which is what Demarcus Ware got last year.

 

Julius Thomas won't make 1.25 million more than the 10 million per year Jimmy Graham got last year.  I'm thinking he gets Gronk money at about 9 million per year.

 

Bryan Bulaga was only making 2.6 million per year on his last contract and the highest paid right tackle in the league only makes 7 million.  I highly doubt he see's 10 million per year.  I think he probably see's around half of that at 5 or 6 million.

 

Hayes and Watson were signed for 1-2 million per year.  I think Ayers would be more in line with that.  Maybe 3 million per year.

 

I think you are overpaying by about 14-15 million per year, which can almost buy Suh.
