I'm just being patient. I'm looking more at the long term talent. No doubt Banks and Burford are going to get beat against our DL but the outlook is they both ALREADY seem entrenched at both G spots. You know what that means? That means they get every rep with the 1's (chemistry next to TW and MM) and a crap ton of snaps until week 1.

If they both have the talent we hope they have, they should be on a very slow but steady ascension over time where we're used to seeing just the opposite of that come 4Q of the season and playoffs.

Looked like RT Tristan Wirfs was carted off quickly. Josh Wells at RT. More updates later.

Tom Brady will at least die a legend.

I believe Banks will be solid. Burford I am not sure. Center and Right tackle scare the hell out of me. I thought Moore would take RT? I mean these kids could gel and be solid by mid season or later, but at what cost to the team and Lance?

There's a difference between signing a FA vs giving a guy and extension when talking about cap space. Doesn't mean they couldn't make certain salaries work though.

Lucky SOB. He'll still probably going to die without Jensen though.

Agreed. If the desire is there, there's always a way to make it work. It'll still be nice to get Jimmy off the books though.

100%.
Of course there's a difference between those three (extension, FA, cap) but not as delineated as NY is implying. It is one cap and yes an extension is different than signing a FA, but it's still one cap. However what I am saying, and NY knows this, is if a team WANTS player X, they can have him. Full stop. So when John comes on the presser and says "hmm we might be able to afford" - really what's being said is "we don't feel like paying .." It's always, always about making salaries work. "We can't afford to keep" is just BS.
