Austin Bonta

He was far down the list.

I don't think you'd do much with Dio right about now.

He's one year in.

And when you talk about the secondary being the most productive unit you have, what you're not saying is that front was the least productive unit they had.

And that's on both sides of the ball.

That's on special teams.

I'm sorry.

Amante Sweat got to double-digit sacks.

Austin Booker.

But at least Jalen Johnson was hurt and came back.

That was more understandable based on track record, the path that Jalen Johnson took this particular season.

And when you look at the positional rank for some of these guys, like Dio Dingbo getting the 14th most salary, like 14 is not high.

14 is about league average if you think about it.

But what I'll say is you got to get that type of production from those players when you pay them the money.

You got to be at least getting the money that you're paying them that value in comparison to what other guys are getting paid around the league.

Yeah, and trying to figure it out,

I like that we have Mike Florio on because he explained how they try to maybe over-dramatize the restructuring of contracts because the clause is there, we can restructure your contract to suit salary cap purposes.

It's less about the actual idea of restructuring and maybe even about waiving.

It's more about can you evaluate the talent if you were to waive a Tremaine Edmonds to say that you're going to get that level of production from someone else.

And usually you get to the last year of a contract, it's like, well, are you going to extend him or are you going to let him walk or are you going to cut him?
