I won’t like it if it’s 20 million plus but it is likely Taylor and Thuney gone soon.

So that’s probably a huge factor here in their cap calculations.

pugsnotdrugs19 02-27-2025 10:26 AM

Let's pretend Thuney, like most guys on the interior OL these days, has indicated to the team he doesn't plan to play much longer. This will be year 10 for him. He's won four Super Bowls, made his money, he's super sharp mentally. Why would he play much longer?

Well then you're looking at losing him, Smith, and Taylor by 2026 and you haven't solved LT yet.

It's a very real possibility that could be playing a role in the effort to keep Trey.

Signing Smith works and keeps him here, but it just subtracts money you can spend elsewhere.

So if you need to spend money to get G's, but decide to go cheap at....DE or LB. Again, fine.

I'd argue that it's easier to find competent G's than it is competent DE's, but that argument atleast makes sense to me. Not overpaying OBJ for average play has allowed them to go sign other guys and or keep guys they like.

The cap is more than fine dude. They’re gonna have plenty of money, especially after they clear some of the higher paid contracts off the books this time next year.

They can extend McDuffie to a big deal and still have money. We are by no means cap strapped.

Don’t want to pay Trey? I get it. But the Chiefs have the money to pay multiple big contracts.

Rams have given Jonah Jackson permission to seek a trade.

I don't think they'll find a buyer prior to his roster bonus triggering, but afterwards they could probably get him moved and the acquiring team would end up on the hook for about $8 million.

Only relevant in the context of what it would mean for LAR's ability to retain Alaric Jackson.

Man, I hope he's wrong. That's a lot of dough.

We need to stay put in the draft. Draft a DT/WR/LB with those first 3 picks.

And four years means not as much to spread it over, but almost certainly would be like Taylor's where 2.5 years are guaranteed up front.

That would be $92M/4. For comparison, Landon Dickerson got $87M/4 last spring.

Well that's certainly a terrible idea.

Slick Rickey has 4K+ followers. I'll wait until a reputable source says so.

Sassy Squatch 02-27-2025 11:08 AM

Good ****ing Lord. Hope that's just a Rickey pretender because unfortunately that dude does have some legit sources

staylor26 02-27-2025 11:08 AM

Maybe the details aren't accurate (hopefully), but that's supposedly Pretty Rickey, so I think at the very least he's going to get a new deal from us.

pugsnotdrugs19 02-27-2025 11:08 AM

That account has gotten a lot of shit wrong in the past week.

Namely saying Godwin was signing a deal with Tampa, and the finalists for the Jags GM job.

The only more reputable sources than Pretty Rockey are Schefter and Rap.
