We still have what amounts to 4 years of cost control with George. Two on his rookie deal, the 5th year option, and the first year of his new contract. That will put Jones in the final year of his deal by the time the money starts to hit. As long as we're good with other contracts, it should be fine. Who knows if Jones will even play that last year, he might retire by then.

He absolutely looked significantly better in the first several weeks than he had as a rookie and looked to be getting better week over week. But I felt like he maybe hit a ceiling in the latter 1/3 or so of the year.

I'm just saying if he has another double digit sack season, I don't know how he doesn't ask for something like Brian Burns or Josh Allen got. |

Rather pay Hollywood than Bolton.
Sorry, I am not a fan of paying big money to off-ball linebackers unless they are absolutely special.

There is no way he's getting that and nor should he unless he takes another very big step forward. He is not at that level

Sweat's a really good comp in that he was productive for the first 4 years of his career but didn't break out until year 5. he hit FA at 28 yrs old after his 5th year option. Karlaftis will be 26 after his 5th year option. The salary cap projects at $314 million in 2027 when he'd be past his 5th year option. It was $255 million this year so Sweat's contract was roughly 9.6% of the cap when signed. 9.6% of the cap in 2027 would be....$30.1 million. Karlaftis could EASILY be a $30 million player if he simply plays at this level for 3 more years. If he improves at all and/or has another mini-leap in his platform season, he'll beat that. He'll be 2 years younger than Sweat, has a similar pedigree, produced more early in his career and has a successful playoff track record. 4 years and $120 million is almost the floor for Karlaftis. If he takes another step forward, he's probably looking at 4/$140 million.

Possible with wage inflation. We just see his value differently. He's a good, solid all-rounder. Someone like Allen is an elite rusher I just think the latter has a very different market value. But I guess we'll see in a few years. If he takes another big leap, maybe. I always thought his ceiling is Trey Hendrickson and if he gets there $20m is absolutely happening.

Would hate to pay Bolton that much. We will see after this year whether we need to pay Hollywood Brown. If we do, I would rather pay him than Bolton. I don’t think we will need to pay Brown though, assuming rice continues to progress and worthy works out. It will really be a sign of failure if we have to draft another first round DE next year. Really hope FAU works out. I think we should try to sign Karlaftis early. he is going to be expensive. The longer we wait the more it will be. I THINK NEXT YEAR IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FOCUS ON A FIRST ROUND PICK FOR THE OL.

Hendricksons last 3 years have been 14/8/17.5 sack seasons. If Karlaftis does that....he may end up being the the highest paid defender in football. |
