Probably. And probably when you're not paying Kelce and Jones. Or Thuney. Because you've gone younger in those spots, so you can pay Rice, should he show out.
It's a balancing act.
This is where the balance is right now; a top five defense paired with what, despite all of the bitching, is a top five offense.
That's a pretty damned good job of building a championship caliber team.
