All options on the table - extend Johnson, cut Velus Jones, trade for Young or Sweat, trade the next 5 drafts for Mahomes. What would it take?

    Pay Jaylon Johnson whatever he is asking for. Even if they overpay, they have plenty of cap space. Who wants to stay on or go to a team that doesn’t reward their own guys?

      Does anyone actually know what JJ is asking for?

      Just because you have plenty of cap space, doesn’t mean you should overpay players. That money tends to get used up real fast.

      Having said that, I DO think we should extend JJ, and I am extremely unhappy with Poles. I not sure why he feels the need to be more frugal than one of the most frugal families in all of football, the McCaskey family. Maybe that’s why they like him so much.

      Just curious if anyone has seen any numbers reported.

        I’m guessing Jaylon wants about $14M per INT.

        In all seriousness, I’d rather they extend him, but if he can get $15M/INT elsewhere or $12M/INT in Chicago, then he should go get that bag and Poles will have to prove it wasn’t a boneheaded move to trade him or let him walk.
