You restructure Thuney's, Mahomes and Kelce's deal and you now have to write a check for everything you pushed off. You turn $9 million of Thuney's salary into signing bonus, Clark Hunt gets to write that check the moment the deal is signed. Hill comes up with a deal with $60 million in guarantees? Not only does Clark have to write a check for, say, a $20 million dollar signing bonus, he also has to escrow (I believe) 75% of the remaining guarantees, so you're looking at another $30 million dropped into escrow. While you're also writing a $27 million check for Mahomes roster bonus AND potentially another $6 million or so to bonus out Kelce. All while the league is 'off' and not generating any revenue payments. I mean Clark has money, but NOBODY enjoys writing $90-$100 million in checks.

Probably so, but it’ll be underwhelming.
A guy like Cordarrelle Patterson

Remember when folks kept squealing that the cap is a myth when we gave Clark his deal and insisted "Ah, a Jones contract will still be easy..."? Fellas - the Cap isn't a myth. Never has been. You can ignore it for a year and often even for 2. But the bill WILL come due. This may honestly be the year to allow it. We don't know what any of these maneuvers will actually mean for the Chargers, Broncos or Raiders. They may still be far inferior to us. So why chase? Give it a minute to settle out, see where the division stands, hope you're still the top dog and then next year attack as needed. There are just a lot of unknown variables right now. But if that's the approach, we'd better be smart about it and if possible try to find some younger veterans we can get a little term on.

Maybe they're going to throw numbers at DE, with a couple of potentially ascending guys and a boring vet like Ingram. Maybe they're going to trade for someone. Maybe they're just that confident in the draft resources available? "easy" plans tend to be expensive. Or at least obvious and easy.

I mean, he's going to have to write those checks eventually to field a team. We don't have any cap space without doing so. |

They have a 2nd year QB starting. Why would they want or need someone younger?
