He may not be a “superstar” but he’s gonna be a 12-15 sack guy moving forward. Those guys as valuable, even if you think they are effort sacks. If you don’t believe me then look at FAU who is also a high effort guy who just can’t get the strength or technique down. If I’m Veach I’m paying these guys. Pay Trent, pay Karlaftis (stagger those 2), pay Trey , pay Bol….(nope), try to keep Watson and Leo on a deal that works. The problem with the Saints is they kept about of injured old players which killed their cap. It’s not killing your cap to pay good players entering their prime. FA is such a hit or miss deal. The best FA’s are the steals like Juju (2022), Breeland (2019) and Tranquil (2023). |

A 12-15 sack guy is basically a superstar, no? That's a 100 sack player when it's all said and done.

Bolton is retainable at a certain price, but he very well may be able to get more elsewhere. GK needs to develop more before I consider him in that $20m AAV range. Good problems to have. |

We will have more than enough cap to get most of these guys locked in. Just keep drafting well and paying as many good young players as you can. |

Yeah George has 2 more season after this one. He’s totally a contract year player that busts out 15 sacks for a new deal. Get him done early.

If Karlaftis has double digit sacks this year, he's gonna want what Brian Burns got.
I'm not sure that's a wise thing to do. 12-15 sack a year guys are your elite guys. I don't think Karlaftis is that. |

Whoever mentioned Tamba Hali -- that always seemed like GK's ceiling. And I don't see that yet, and I'd bet against it ever happening. Would love to be wrong.

Tamba played in a different era of QB's. They were alot more stationary then so his athleticism wasn't as big of an issue where now you' beat a T then have to chase down a QB....it's alot tougher.

I'm just going purely based on get-off. He did it the one time I recall in the AFCC against Baltimore, but you don't see that ability to win around the corner like Tamba had. He is better at countering inside maybe though.

Chris Jones won’t be here more than 3 years IMO so a Karlaftis deal wouldn’t hit until he’s gone. I personally think he can get to Hendrickson’s level. He reminds me so much of a younger Hendrickson. Will he? Remains to be seen. Can he? I think he can |

That type of signing - what Cincy gave him a few years ago - that is our best chance to get an impact rusher in the post-Chris Jones future if we continue to draft in the 29-32 range. |
