[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 812270"] Those last 3 bulletted names conform with the concept I advocate--second contract players who have shown progression through the rookie contract while also showing durability. Amos got beat up in 2017 with a hamstring and both ankles but has been no worse for wear this season. Those are also positions high on the needs list especially under a scenario where Williams is released or moved back to corner. There's the question of whether these players or their comparables will be highly valued by their incumbent teams for the same reasons and stay put. The other thing I like about those 3 guys is they were not high picks, 4th. round on down, who had to build up their games to get their snaps. Chips on shoulders tend to last. Discussions of Von Miller and Antonio Brown trades, at those costs, should be taken out back and shot. I don't see any particular need to pay Boyle $4 mil per year. I think bringing back Kendricks at something like his last deal @ $2 mil per year would be the better move or draft a guy with blocking credentials. Kendricks is still a decent receiver who's been underutilized and he's a decent blocker. While that does not conform with the pay-for-youth concept, I'm not seeing where Boyle has much upside and Kendricks would be adequate in a 2 year time frame in that complementary role. A $4 mil difference in savings over two years strikes me as worth it. It's probably worth noting the run game was pretty effective this season with either guy out there despite Graham blocking or in the slot on a fair number of those runs. Getting the pass game in better sync can only help. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the $4.75 mil in cap savings in cutting T. Williams is not going to cover Breeland's average salary amount. Maybe it would cover the first year cap with a decent signing bonus. I think he's gone a long to resurrecting his rep. He should get a lot of interest as a #2 corner perimeter-slot swing man. As mentioned earlier, NO should be kicking themselves in not taking the gamble and having to go get Eli Apple who is proving to be an Achilles heel. Of the 31 other teams, some number are going to be looking to plug a similar weakness without breaking the bank. [/QUOTE]
