Also restructuring doesn't have to be catastrophic for the future of our cap. For instance, if you convert $10m of Mahomes Salary to Signing Bonus then that $10m is now spread from 2024 season at $10m, to the next 5 seasons at $2m each, and if the cap is going up by say $20m a year then you're good. The impact becomes less and less each season as long as you don't abuse it too much. |

Draft a guy, flip a pick to the Titans for Hopkins.
I don't think they can bring back Jones at that #, but he's still an elite player and that's gonna sting losing him. |

Jones recent comment about this maybe being his last game at Arrowhead kind of puts some writing on the wall. I don't think he's back, and at his number we probably shouldn't. He's a great player, no doubt, but sinking 28+ into a DT is tough to do.

I think when you step back to the big picture there is a lot of merit to investing draft capital at interior pass rusher, EDGE, WR, OL, and CB and filling the roster through free agency around that. (assuming you have solved for QB). Like bang for buck wise. Such a strategy should enable you to have a much deeper roster just given the premium teams are paying for the positions you focus on drafting.

If you don't hit on a high number of draft picks, you're ****ed in the NFL. you can't just spend your way to multiple championships in the NFL. You can MAYBE buy one. Ask The Rams. You can spend what SHOULD have bought you a Super Bowl and still not get there, ask The Cowboys. To have sustained success, you damned well better draft well. |

Two or three good players at those positions for what ONE at a premium position costs. Better be hitting on those in the draft. |

Pete Caroll out for SEA... Maybe Lockett gets let go to save cap space. They're pressed up against the cap with only $1.5m and he's due for a new contract.

They drafted him in the first, he's gonna play. They can't sign Danna and let the best man win, they need that money elsewhere.
