Again, acting like an 18 million AAV contract wasn't attainable is absolute bupkis. Danna is getting 8 million AAV and Tranquill is getting a bit over 6 million AAV. That's just over 14 million going to two guys that have been largely replacement level players this season instead of an elite CB that Spagnuolo has said multiple times was one of the key contributors that made the defense as stout as it was.

But they weren’t replacement level last year. I doubt anyone saw this drop off coming.
