Our first round pick wouldn't have even been enough plus the redo contract and Cap hit.I'm sure Poles checked it out but getting a #10 pick , we were never in the race. This is the fifth year for Poles and he got us here with some good and bad moves. We are a winning team with a good core. Now it's going to be about building with the draft. A few targeted free agents without the fat contracts. Whether people agree or not, there is no Crosby or Lawrence moves going to happen anymore. The best we can do is have 2025 drafts every year.

Some say $30M, but he was already at $27M and then $29M so its hard to imagine things got so out of whack over $4M difference in a $60M two year deal? Sounds like he might want more. It'll be interesting to see what the numbers are. Report

Jordan Davis got 26 mil and Cris Jones gets 31 . So probably higher than that. Report
