And regardless of salary cap increases, spending like drunken sailors still isn't the formula for franchise success, much to the chagrin of armchair GMs. Edit2: ask a Redskins fan, Cleveland fan or Philly fan how foolish spending has worked for them. At least Philly has some result to show. There is a big difference is spending big to bring in outside FAs versus spending big to keep guys familiar with and excelling in the system they are in already.
simpleman Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 White deserves and has earned being paid as a top tier CB. Dawkins has so far just proven to be an acceptable LT, nothing more. Don't overpay him. Next year both tackles should be a priority in the draft. Allen still has not proven himself to be a Franchise quality QB. This is his make or break year. Tre is the only one that needs to be paid as of this year. 1

But we will also have 2 rings by then so it will be worth it If we have 2 rings, I would be happy to give him 40MIL. BUT I hope he wants more SuperBowl trophies and doesn't try to break the bank. Definitely pay the man, tho. 1
Mat68 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Corner is a premier position. He is all pro. I think White is the only guy I see as a must sign. Dawkins and Milano are good but you dont over pay for good.

This is a classic case of a nice problem to have. I'd rather have the LT and CB and figure out the money than not have them
Orlando Buffalo Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 On 5/1/2020 at 12:30 PM, DrDawkinstein said: I dont want to pay him $20M/year either, but this does bolster the argument some of us have been making that his market value is indeed closer to $15M/yr than the $8-10M some folks here want to pay him. With the contracts being given out currently he is definitely in 15 a year category. If he is great this year he might be even higher.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Contracts are going to continue to go up regardless. I don’t think Beane will overpay anyone. Not worried. 1

I could see us drafting a pair of OT's next spring if Dawkins insists on being overpaid. RT and WLB are our 2 weakest positions. CB and TE are major concerns as well. 1

And it has always been this way- contracts get larger and larger each year with the exception of most RB contracts. 22 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Contracts are going to continue to go up regardless. I don’t think Beane will overpay anyone. Not worried. And the cap will climb and so will NFL revenues - it all works out. Teams cant overpay for players and sign stupid contracts.

njbuff Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 They will sign White regardless. They will get a contract done with Milano. They might have to overpay to keep Dawkins, because what is the alternative to protecting the blindside of your franchise QB?

I think they could move on from him and figure OT out through draft and FA, if needed. Again, I don’t think Beane’s going to pay anyone more than they’re worth, and Dawkins is not a top 5 LT in the NFL. Not even close. Sometimes GMs need to make tough decisions.
John from Riverside Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Well it’s a good thing beane has been managing the cap like a ninja how much are we rolling over to the ton of cap we have next year

He's a decent player, but if plays at the same level this year, he would be replaceable. He's better than decent, he's very good. Not great. But very good LTs are what you should have to protect your QB, and they aren't all that common. IMO they'll try hard to get him back, but won't be held hostage. If he expects top three or four money, they might easily draft an LT high next year. People who think he's just good, as in pretty much average, are underrating him. For example, the only place we did better last year than over left tackle in terms of yardage was around right end. Over left tackle, behind Dawkins, we got 4.59 ALY (see Football Outsiders where this data comes from), which is 10th in the league, which is far better than decent. Edited May 4, 2020 by Thurman#1
