Yes, we need an upgraded OL. But when your OL is already suspect and your HOF left tackle misses a third of the season, you have issues.
Having to pay him $250m will absolutely diminish this team's ability to continue to put a stacked roster together. What are we even talking about here. Our starting QB made $900K last yr. Yeah the team was great in 2023 lol.
this is something that absolutely affect this team in the next 2 or so years. Thats a fact
First of all, him signing an extension will have zero bearing on next year. The contract would kick in the year after.
Secondly, we have a ton of older players who's contracts will be off the books by the time the contract kicks in (Trent, Hargrave, Ward, etc.)
Third, our team has been planning for Brock's pay increase for over a year now. We currently have $50M+ in capspace for next year.
I am not interested in this hypothetical fear that we wont be able to afford players in future years that you seem to be presenting as fact. Its not a fact.
Oh.....and again......He will NOT be seeing all of this imaginary $250M figure you keep bringing up. No one ever does. Contracts get restructured ALL THE TIME.
