those numbers will change but i look at what sweat and clowney have produced and you can make an argument that that they might be on par with 8-10 at bestIf Chase and Sweat only come up with 12.5 sacks between them this year. I seriously doubt either one gets a big money offer from the Skin. We're talking about guys who as you said in post #14, produce. Receiving legit 1st team all pro consideration as I said in my post would be a good indicator that they produced.
As for Payne n Allen coming in lower than projected. At present Allen is the 8th highest paid DT in the league and Payne is the 3rd highest paid DT. I do believe its possible that Allen gave the Skins a slight hometown discount as from all indications he's playing for the team he rooted for as a kid. Not so sure about Payne, but that's beside the point. If both Sweat n CY have big years, particularly with sacks, both their agents will surely classify them as edge defenders/rushers. Below are the highest paid edge rushers for 2023. With productive years (double digit sack numbers, QB pressures, TFLs and solid otr better run defense both CY n Sweat are looking at what? 24.5 mill a year? That's what? 89, 90 mill a year for 4 starters who will all be playing very similar positions. And we've yet to factor in Curl who you as well as myself believe he deserves to get paid. Highest paid safeties are below. I'm think Curl is gonna be looking for 10 mill per at the very very least. So 100 mill or damn near tied up in 5 players. You see that as both feasible and sustainable?
