Easy. Even if not extended this year, next year (or in season). Both are at the top of their respected markets. Markets are set. Buckner will be slightly higher than AA and the new high at TE is $11M APY. We're in great cap shape next year anyhow.
I'm excited to hear we will be in great shape for the salary cap next year. I don't know how the salary cap works like you, help me understand what about next year puts us in this position?
For starters, with the new CBA, the team cap is expected to go up $40M ($30M more than usual). Secondly, with no 30% rule, teams have total freedom to spread out the big bonus money how they want now. Our entire team is under contract now so extending Buckner and Kittle should be easy. Finally, several bigger contracts will come off the books clearing even more cap space; we have virtually no dead money.
Like what he was lazy or something for 3-4 yrs? He got lucky one yr?
