But this ridiculousness of comparing Watkins and Mecole to Julio needs to stop. They don't even deserve to shine the shoes of the future HOFer.

Not arguing, genuinely curious - wouldn't Mathieu's extension create more than enough room, factoring in our current space + new space - draft class?
EDIT: I did the math.
Looks like the extension
could create $10M in cap space for 2021, +
the current cap space of $9,894,349, -
Rookie pool requirement of $5,705,097 =
$14,189,252
So no, just HB's extension alone would not get it done. There would have to be other adjustments made elsewhere prior to it becoming official on 6/2/2021. Kelce and Jones restructures would be candidates.
