Not expecting you to but i do think Rivers might come back

They don't even know the actual return time on Wentz yet, right? 5-12 weeks, but they won't know which end he's closer to until later, yes?

Damn good player. And deserves it really. But basically $20M per year to an LB!!...

Not sure how you keep putting a team around him by year 2. 

 

Ballard is the man though. He's earned benefit of the doubt for sure.

They normally don’t do signing bonuses but with Leonard ($20M) they did and they used 2021 to push the signing bonus towards the front of the contract so the last year of the new deal won’t have any pro rated bonus money tied to it (with the exception of any roster bonuses or workout bonuses).

Under a worse case scenario they could cut him in 2024 with $8M in dead money and save approx $12M in cap that year. (2025 $4M and 2026 $0)
