    If all goes as planned and when the time comes, can we pay Stroud, WAJ, Stingley, Tank…And imagine if Kamari ends up being the read deal…

    Was just thinking about this, great problem to have but could we afford it..

    That’s going to be the absolute key factor

    you have to trade some of them early for draft capital ala Tyreek Hill, Chandler Jones, etc

    This is why the FO-types make the big bucks.

    Can't pay them all. So the team will have to make tough decision when the time comes and hope we keep hitting on draft picks. But that's how it's always been; players play well, get paid, and the team replaces them with cheaper rookie deals.

    Gotta try and keep Stingley and Will at least alongside CJ.

    The fact is in order to contend over a long period of time, a team must continually draft well because they won't re-sign every good player when their time comes. Tough choices will have to be made.

    Can’t afford them all. Nick made the right moves bringing in high priced guys like Autry, Hunter, Diggs, Mixon, Al-Shair, etc now. Once CJ gets paid all those guys probably are gone.

    I think they try to keep Sting and WAJ long term. Tunsil likely is gone with his heir apparent already drafted.

    I imagine once Stroud is paid they will go the Chief's blueprint and not have any top 10 paid wide receivers

    Yeah, out of all the guys, after CJ get paid, investments will need to be made on the D-line and an anchor in the secondary…. Pretty much the chiefs model. I\I would focus on cycling WRs in the drafts and finding bargains. But we will not be able to have a high price WR on the squad. This is where keeping Metch will pay off, his second contract will be a bargain. .

    We have a window until stroud's contract extension kicks in. Hope we win at least 1 Super Bowl during that time.

    it is possible. stone just needs to convince some players to take less in return for superbowls.

    A team can usually pay 4-5 guys well.

    You pick who you think should get a long term deal on the active roster.
