[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 869372"] If Jones is your number one priority among players in a contract year, then it is doable. One is certainly entitled to change one's mind. It would be foolish not to in light of new information, and there has been plenty over the last month or so. What a person cannot do is stump for Jones in one moment, Clark the next, and Bakhtiari the next. Some might include King in that group. There might even be somebody who would favor extending Linsley in a backloaded deal and reduce his 2020 cap hit, though I have not seen that proposed nor would I suggest it. Regardless, any backloaded deal for any of these guys hits home in 2021, and you simply cannot accumulate all of them now, nor would you want to if you could. There's a draft and full season to assess possible cheap rookie deal replacements already in house. I would suggest picking one. Then if a mind change takes place, qualify that guy as the new #1 priority. And in the midst all this there are still free agent signing proposals being posted that would be meaningfully above the minimum guy they'd bump from the top 53. I won't be thinking about who should or should not be extended to the exclusion of the others until after the draft. We don't know what those guys are asking for at their line in the sand, but who gets drafted might provide indications as who are pricing themselves out. [/QUOTE]
