Bill Barnwell on ESPN is projecting that KJ signs a 1 year $2.5M with the Rams.
Hawks would be crazy to not sign him for anything around 3 mill.
I'd offer him at least $3.5M.
First, there's no guarantee that Jordyn can be another KJ. He might well advance more naturally as BOBBY's replacement as he played the mike like Bobby did in college.
Second, KJ's backups on the depth chart were Shaquem Griffin, then Barton. Now we're hearing we're going with Barton if things go wrong because he's cheap and everyone is hopeful? Did we not just go through this at this position?
Third, if the Hawks don't even try for KJ in the 3.5M range, then someone will. I can completely see the Rams doing this, and if the 49ers don't land Julio (they probably won't), they'll be in the mix too.
Seeing KJ in a Rams uni hitting Russ would be bad enough. Wanna see him in a 49ers uniform doing that?
He had a good year, he's healthy, he's in his prime and if we don't act, he'll probably go to a division rival. The closest of which, I might add, is an hour's flight from Seattle.
