I'd rather get 2 good WRs, and 1 starting OT than 1 Hardy. Paying $30m for 2 DEs is retarded... Didn't we learned that with Williams and Stewart?

 

I agree but comparing our RB's deals to DE's deals is ridiculous. RB's like those two are a dime a dozen, whereas Hardy and Johnson are not. I think Hardy will accept somewhere around $10-12m/year here and Johnson will take a pay cut to help keep him and other pieces here. $30m would be too much, but around $25m is definitely worth it to keep our front 7 so strong. I believe we CAN live without Hardy, but if we can find a way to keep him without ignoring other pieces, then I think we need to do it. And I think G-man will find a way to get enough cap room to keep Hardy, draft a starting caliber WR, and get FA starting-caliber WR (Nicks?), OT, and CB (Verner, please please please). Whatever happens, I'll be happy with. I trust Gettleman 100% to do the best possible thing.

      Why is it a no-brainer? I mean the idea of a hold out made me laugh out loud.

      Oh, oh. I see what you are saying. Yeah but not all of those were draft for draft replacements. Jones was a dumpster dive. The overall point I was making is that it is becoming more common to see this quick pivots as people realize their mistakes. It happens with a lot of busts historically at QB.  IDK about "most teams" have fast, capable WR's. It's a mixed bag across the league. There are the Hopkins, Evans, etc that aren't sub-4.5 guys and are still star players.

      So if it comes down to that, and it played out, we could be looking at a post June 1 designation for his 5th year money at best. Assuming it is guaranteed which I don’t know.     13.25 mil cap hit in 2027 and 2028.   I have to admit I never really went into the angles after picking up the option. I have always been don’t do it.    So, you pay him the 12 mil for year 4 and if you want out when they go into extension lobbying you trade or cut.  Is that conceivable?   The thing about trading is, I believe all the guaranteed money hits your cap right then. That’s 26.5 million if correct.  So if they picked up the 5th, this would cover the ‘we want out’ expenses from our end, after year 4.   Correct?
