[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 1094818, member: 4199"] That part comes back to my usual opinions on free agency. Really good players don't make it to free agency. Those that do, have some kind of flaw or questions surrounding them. Having more money tied up in Watson doesn't appreciably impact our ability to sign free agents, because there normally aren't good free agents to sign in the first place. Might signing Watson prevent us from keeping some of our own? Maybe, but Kraft won't (or shouldn't) be the trade off. When you draft well, you re-sign those players who are stars, impact players, however you want to designate them. The players you are likely to lose are the cut candidates at the end of their second contract or just not offering 3rd contracts. Players that are potential loses to offset Watson and Kraft money would be players like Jacobs (cut candidate), McKinney (do not extend after his contracts voids in 2028), Aaron Banks (cut candidate, already 29 years old). Devonte Wyatt is also likely to be extended, changing how his cap number is applied. Be ruthless with your old players. Kkeep the young, ascending ones. [/QUOTE]
