I’d say it will probably be in the ballpark of 20 mil cap hit. To your point that’s a lot less than the premiere position top 5 contracts- but I’m hoping we also lay some money down on a legit edge rusher this off season
I don't think he's getting more than Travis Kelce, TJ Hockenson (who was a 2x Pro Bowler when he signed his extension) or George Kittle. The ceiling for TE contracts right now is a little over $17MM per year.
When we were mid the pending free agents list for us wasn't that appetizing or concerning. Today we have a lot of pending free agents who are looking forward to their final contract and the opportunity for life-changing money.
Kyzir White and Evan Brown are dudes who could be getting paid from somewhere.
