Teams like the 49ers and Dolphins and Lions and Browns handing out massive contracts left and right - but for some reason folks are getting bent out of shape for shoring up the right side of the line for the next 5 years with what I’m sure is a number that will be around a 10-14 million dollar cap hit.
One less hole we’ll need to fill and the beginning of locking up a core for Act 2 of the Allen era which I consider to start next year (I’m not counting this year as such due to the Diggs situation which we were not counting on and this being the last year we were going to have Von under big money).
Guys we drafted going into final years of their contracts in 2025:
Bernard (keep)
Benford (keep - top 15 CB in the league)
Rousseau (hopefully we have to pay him 20 mill per bc he comes off a 15 sack season)
Shakir (Same Rousseau only a big WR season version)
Cook (let leave)
Still have important pieces under contract. Rookies from this year and last year’s class and 10 picks coming in 2025. And FA money to spend.
