And theres a ton of signings still yet to come. We dont even have a QB2 on the roster yet, in addition to all the depth signings we will make in rounds 2 and 3 of free agency. As well as the draft class. With 2 1st round picks, potentially. There is a lot of money somewhere that Howie knows about, and capologist fans can not figure out. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After chatting with Jason @OTC, Kelce new deal replaces the existing deal somewhat, and will only add 1.5 to 1.9 million to his current cap hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we have the appropriate resources tied up in dead cap from having to restructure every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all we know is it works and its god damned glorious It worked in 2017, with a solid foundation, and then it fell apart and the foundation had to be rebuilt. Bradberry could be this years Alshon, we already jumped the gun and made Quinn 2018’s Golden Tate. I will wait to see the results, but nothing has been done . We were on pace to lose 8 of the 9 defensive snap leaders. We have re signed a 30 year old corner, and lost 3 of those guys.

Yes, Quinn didn't work out for us, but this was the kind of year Howie makes that kind of trade and you don't question it. A prominent veteran, even if he's old coming off a fantastic season? On a team that made the Super Bowl even without much contribution from him. It was the right move at the time every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the intention of that trade was sacks, which we had zero and cost us a title. And now we don’t have the resource to replace the guys we are losing, and got absolutely nothing for that resource.
