Rich7sena Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, NYRaider said: Melvin Gordon also signed his contract at 27 years old, Jacobs will be 24/25 when he hits the open market. Gordon also signed his deal when the cap was $182M, Jacobs will be hitting the market when the cap could be as high as $248M. At the time of Melvin Gordon's deal his salary accounted for 4.5% of Denver's total cap, if Jacobs signed a deal at 4.5% with the expected cap number he'd get around $11M APY. Except RB contracts don't necessarily track with cap increases. Gurley signed for 4 years, $60 million in 2018 when the cap was at $177 million. Henry signed for 4 years $50 million when the cap was at $182 million. That's just a snapshot, but new money typically goes to premium positions like QB, T, Edge, WR, than runningbacks. We may never see a $20 per year runningback. Plus, I don't think last year's depressed cap did much to deter big long-term money. Short term deals took a bigger hit.

I don't see Josh Jacobs, especially if we turn down his 5th year option at $10M, accepting a long term deal here for less money. Especially since he's poised to have a career year in McDaniel's scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume that we're going to invest heavily into the OL this off-season and Jacobs both as a runner and a pass catcher will be a major focal point for us.

Morgan Moses is someone that they're likely familiar with as he played with the Jets last year at RT. Ted Karras (Patriots LG) is also a free agent. Add those two: Miller - Karras - James - Good - Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add those two: Miller - Karras - James - Good - Moses depends on who comes in as the DC. Because say they go the wink Martindale route(3-4 Press man defense): that creates holes that you would rather fill an FA rather than the draft if you're trying to reload instead of rebuild. Whereas all line if you can find a RT in the 1st and a high end guard in the second round you did a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Some interesting WR prospects in the middle rounds: Christian Watson, North Dakota State (6'4" 210, 4.44) Wan'Dale Robinson, Kentucky (5'11" 185, 4.40) Jalen Tolbert, South Alabama (6'3" 200, 4.45) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a veteran RT or OG in free agency at a reasonable price is much easier than finding a premium corner, pass rusher, or interior DL.

I am not going to speak badly about McDaniels ability to find talent but I do not want a head coach trying to be a jack of all trades.
