And no. I dont. Top five guys get locked up. As such supply in fa is truncated and you wind up paying mid level guys like jj watt.


Let me also say this. Im a homer. Once the deal is signed ill get my palm palms out and hope he helps us get to the promised land and plays at an elite level. My eyes just tell me thats not reasonable.

Broncos can't sign everyone. They attemped at 10-11M per, we offered him 15 to get him away from his team. We can't match what Denver offered and expect to keep him.

 

When you have a defense that consists of Von, Ware, Wolfe, Marshall, Trevathan, Talib, Ward, etc. while needing to give 15-20M to a QB, hard to allocate money to everyone. For a team like us and we let him go that'd be a worry, for an elite team with a ton of assets that don't have the cash to pay him that much, that's what happens.
