That's close to half the cap. Throw in Burrow and you're talking four players taking over half the cap. There has to be money left for defense and an OL. That could be disastrous.
May 11, 20223 yr Author comment_1671301 The cap is going up significantly between now and 2024 - $240 million by then, if I read right.

May 11, 20223 yr comment_1671307 I was hoping they'd amend the salary cap to there the QB's salary isn't included in the overall cap. That would allow teams to keep their QBs and still build a team.
May 11, 20223 yr comment_1671312 I will be shocked if Higgins stays, they'd have to match a big WR1 contract somewhere else that will surely be coming his way. As others have said, that's probably not a good idea budget-wise.
May 11, 20223 yr comment_1671313 Bengals should be able to keep Burrow, Higgins, and Chase together for a while. Boyd and Mixon will likely be the ones who aren't kept around. Colleges produce lots of good receivers these days so maybe they let Tee walk but it won't be because they can't afford him.

We think the Desean Watson contract was bad, what will we see with a bigger cap. So we still might not be able to keep everyone we want to keep.
May 12, 20223 yr comment_1671323 The thing about the Watson contract that was unusual wasn't the annual average of 46 mil, but the fact the whole thing was guaranteed. That upset other teams.

That would allow teams to keep their QBs and still build a team. Problem with that is two fold. First, the very wealthy owners would start paying QB's $100M per year (and that in itself would cause other positions to go up) and second, the rest of the players would just demand more to fill the cap 'hole'. It would make it worse for the smaller market teams.

I'd have to look at stats again to be certain but I think Higgins had some pretty bad drops during the postseason run. Still amazed JB didn't blow out his back carrying the whole damn city out to LA.
