Well, they paid them all, and they went 6-11.

That's why I keep coming back to the cap part.

Like, that's the part nobody ever measures, is that every dollar you count against the cap is a negative towards you.

Right?

And so having $40 million, I mean, you give a draft pick to $5 million, you've got $40 million more to spend on other players.

It's not just Chris Jones versus the pick.

It's Chris Jones versus the pick and $40 million more to be spent elsewhere.

I mean, that $40 million might have been, some of it might have been Trent McDuffie.

Some of it might have been, you know, take your pick of whatever quality free agents that have been out there for the last three years.

The cap space matters.

And just getting rid of that giant number matters.

But when you go down this road, you know you're going to have to pay.

Well, I mean, it's not this draft that you have to ask it about.

It's going to be the 23 draft, right?

23 draft.

It's Rashi Rice, Wanya Morris, Chamari Conner, B.J.

Thompson, Keiondre Colburn, and Nick Jones.

And FAU, which they're not going to give the fifth year to.

Yeah.

And then next year, it'll be questions on Xavier Worthy, Kingsley Suamantia, Jared Wiley.
