Again they are in a great place with the cap. They can absolutely afford a high priced FA if they want to. Most of us preferred paying a guy like Chase Young instead of Trey but this still applies.
If Trey is paid, it’s gonna be a 4 or 5 year deal that is backloaded and his cap hit will be small in the first year.
Thuney is in the final year of his deal. If they don’t touch it, he is completely off the books after 2025 with no dead money. That alone would shift $26 million we were paying to Trey in 2026-2028.
Jawaan is in his last year in 2025. We will cut him this time next year and save $20 million to only 1 year of dead cap of $7 million.
They can get rid of both Thuney and Jawaan’s huge deals by the time Trey really gets paid starting in 2026.
