AgentDib":kefirknf said:We're not as tight on money as people seem to think. The cap went up by a lot, Lynch is retiring and Graham's status is a big question mark. We should have something like $28 million to spend and this is a strong draft for DT's. Obviously we want to make sure we are getting good value but we aren't restricted to the dollar store.

Bennett and Kam are each signed through the 2017 season. As per the team's policy of not renegotiating contracts with more than one year remaining, neither player should receive new money. Perhaps the team would be willing to move a small number of incentives or guarantees from next season into this season, as they did for Marshawn Lynch, but there should not be a major renegotiation for players with two years remaining on their contracts.
Personally, I would rather pay a stud like Alex Mack or Kelechi Osemele $8-9 million APY than pay inconsistent veterans like Okung or Sweezy. Schneider has said the emphasis is on "continuity," but I don't agree that continuity is the be all, end all, especially when our linemen have performed at a below average level for the last three seasons.

That 8 mil was from the Browns. Our team aint the Browns.Bobblehead":bh20p104 said:Basis4day":bh20p104 said:With what money?
He turned down 8 million, think 10 million.
We need a good OL, but we need a serviceable OL, not a premium OL so at 10 million for a center I'd say rules him out.

Depending on what it would take to resign him, Hawks might be abke to afford Lane in this scenario too. And Shead and Tye Smith are still here.Hasselbeck":2epfsgvk said:TheRealDTM":2epfsgvk said:We don't have the cash. We have to fill LT, RG, DT, CB2 and will need to renegotiate Bennett and or Kam
Draft LT, re-sign Sweezy, draft DT depth .. cross your fingers that Simon can stay on the field in 2016.
Problem solved.
