Neither will be worth the coin long-term.

-wait and see on Karlaftis. Depends on price. If a fair deal like 4/$60 million is agreed to then keep him. If he wants the bag let him walk.
Don’t agree with all of that but I do think they need to spend the cap on key guys from the
2022 class. McDuffie, Chenal and Watson.
Those three have proven their value here and need to stay. They’re young and ascending.
We need to pay them

I agree with everything except the Trey part. It truly does depend on the cost.
But I can't pay a guy $20m + to play guard and then have games like last Sunday where he is hindering the offense as a pass blocker.
A play here or there, like Joe Thuney has been for four years, fine. Take the money. But a whole game of ass? No way. Use that on another player.
