They've got cards in their hand that they could play to restructure contracts and make cap space.

But right now, I think they're still the lowest available cap space in the league even before we get to the draft.

And so you don't have the luxury of playing those games.

You did that last year when you went out and you got Joe Tooney and Jonah Jackson and Drew Dahlman all within the span of a week.

And you made these –

huge investments and that those were the splashes you're just not allowed to do that every year if you were it would be a lot easier to sustain success in this league and I get it people people think it's really easy to press all the buttons and and all of a sudden voila you've got all this cap space there's sacrifices you have to make you would have had a trade a premium draft pick you would have had to uh make some hard decisions with your roster not only this year but in future years in terms of who you want to keep we just got done

talking about Darnell Wright and making room for his extension.

You're going to have to start talking eventually with Caleb Williams.

You're hopeful that Roman Dunze is in that conversation for an extension.

So there's a lot of things up the road that you have to be cognizant of that are coming for you before you just go, it's now or never.

Let's take this veteran defensive tackle and cross our fingers that he's the missing piece for a Super Bowl run.

No doubt about it.

And now you've got to go out.

You do still need it.

We all know.

You need help on your defensive front.

And so this weekend will be about that for sure.

You've got to get something there.

You really do.

I would be very disappointed to get in my car and pull out of this parking lot here at Hellesall on Friday night and not feel like they've added a defender up front that can be an impact contributor fairly quickly.
